To practice law in the courts of any US State or other jurisdiction, a person must have license, or admitted to its bar, under rules established by the jurisdiction’s highest court.
        Lawyers who have been admitted to the bar in one State occasionally may be admitted to the bar in another State without taking another examination if they meet the latter jurisdiction’s standards of good moral character and a specified period of legal experience.
         Lawyers must pass the bar examination in each State in which they plan to practice. Federal courts and agencies set their own qualifications for the future lawyers.
        To be a lawyer or attorney involves a great deal of responsibility. Individuals planning careers in law should like to work with people and be able to win the confidence and the respect of their clients, associates, and the public.
