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.
California is widely considered to have the hardest bar exam, due to its low pass rate and the difficulty of the content and constraints of the exam.
New York Reciprocity New York has reciprocity agreements with: AK, CO, DC, GA, IL, IN, IA, KY, MA, MI, MN, MO, NE, NH, NC, ND, OH, OK, PA, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV, WI, and WY.
NY and CA aren't reciprocal, but NY and DC are.
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.
All applicants who pass the bar examination must also take and pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), administered by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE), before they may be admitted to practice law in New York.
California Reciprocity California doesn't offer reciprocity but offers a shorter bar exam for attorneys who are admitted in other states and who have been in good standing as an attorney in those states for at least four years prior to their application.
Other Requirements Score 85 or higher on the MPRE within the accepted time frame. Complete an online course called the New York Law Course (NYLC). Pass an online test called the New York Law Exam (NYLE). Complete 50 hours of qualifying pro bono service (learn more).
Out-of-state attorneys who are licensed and in good standing in another U.S. jurisdiction may apply to the Multijurisdictional Practice Program to practice law in a limited capacity in California.
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.
