I'm curious if anyone has taken both California and New York in the same year? Is it worth it to do so when the information is fresh in your head?New York State permits admission on motion, without examination, for applicants who have practiced for five of the preceding seven years. California does not offer bar reciprocity. If you want to practice in California you must pass the California bar and be admitted there. Ultimately, if you want to live in NY, I would look up the process to transfer to their state. You can waive into the DC Bar using the NCBEX website if you have been licensed in California for more than 5 five years or obtained a sufficient MBE score. The New York State Bar Association Lawyer Referral and Information Service is here to connect you with our trusted, vetted panel of attorneys. No information is available for this page. The first step in the California Bar application process is to register with the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State of California.
