Qualifications for Admission to the Bar (American Bar Association Standard 504)

Each state/jurisdiction has its own requirements for admission to its bar. For information about state bar examinations, please visit the American Bar Association website at: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/legal_education/resources/bar_admissions/.

In addition to a bar examination, there are character, fitness, and other qualifications for admission to the bar in every U.S. jurisdiction. Applicants are encouraged to determine the requirements for any jurisdiction in which they intend to seek admission by contacting the jurisdiction. Addresses for all relevant agencies are available through the National Conference of Bar Examiners.

A number of states require that persons intending to practice law in those states register with a designated state office or official prior to beginning the study of law. Students should therefore ascertain and comply with such requirements in the jurisdictions where they expect to practice. You are encouraged to review these requirements at www.ncbex.org.
