While lawyers must pass their state bar exam in order to be admitted to their state bar and practice law, passing the bar is not necessarily a requirement for legal consultants (depending on the rules and regulations for your jurisdiction).

In some instances, attorneys who are properly licensed and in good standing in another state are allowed to practice in California. For example, attorneys who practice only federal law, such as immigration, may practice in California but be licensed in another state.

If you have been fully admitted to the practice of law in any U.S. or foreign jurisdiction, you are qualified to take the California Bar Examination without additional legal education.
