FAQ
California Bar Examination All other attorney applicants must take the general bar exam. Please note that the State Bar does not offer reciprocity or accept bar exam scores from another jurisdiction.
The short answer to this question is no – just because you are licensed to practice law in one state does not mean you can practice law in any state.
The California Bar Exam has three (3) parts given over two (2) days: five (5) essay questions, the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) and one (1) performance test.
California Bar Examination Please note that the State Bar does not offer reciprocity or accept bar exam scores from another jurisdiction.
Florida's refusal to allow reciprocity and admission by motion is pure economic protectionism. It demonstrates that Florida lawyers fear competition. Note that even if reciprocity and admission by motion increases competition in Florida, competition can be good for Florida lawyers.
There is no reciprocity between Florida and any other jurisdiction. Submission to the Florida Bar Examination and completion of a character and fitness investigation is required of all applicants.
Does Florida have reciprocity with any other jurisdiction? Unfortunately, no Florida does not accept a law license from any other state. Lawyers that move to Florida from other states need to apply for the Florida Bar and take the state's Bar exam in order to become a licensed attorney in the state.
If you then earn a score of 136 or higher on that individual component, you will pass the bar. (Note: If you've recently taken the bar exam in another jurisdiction, you can transfer a passing MBE score (136 or greater) to Florida, so you only have to take the Florida-prepared examination.)
A practicing lawyer of another state may be permitted to practice as allowed by the Florida Rules of General Practice and Judicial Administration regarding foreign attorneys. That lawyer must also comply with this rule. (1)Application of Rules Regulating The Florida Bar.
