Bar Reciprocity

Bar reciprocity comes down to two questions: can you waive in on motion based on years of active practice elsewhere, and will your UBE score transfer? This map answers both for all 50 states and D.C. Hover any state for the short answer; click for the rule citation, the application fee, MPRE and character-and-fitness requirements, and a link to the state’s board of law examiners. Closed-AOM jurisdictions (California, Florida, Louisiana, and a handful of others) show in red; everywhere else shows the years of practice the rule requires. Use the toggle above the map to switch between the AOM view and the UBE view. Data is verified against each state’s controlling rule and refreshed each year on NCBE’s publication cadence.
