Practicing Law Outside California

Taking the Bar examination in another state is not limited to J.D. graduates of ABA-approved law schools.

Study at, or graduation from, this law school may not qualify a student to take the bar examination or be admitted to practice law in jurisdictions other than California.  A student who intends to seek admission to practice law outside of California should contact the admitting authority in that jurisdiction for information regarding its education and admission requirements.

There are many states, other than California, that will allow you to sit for their Bar examination upon successful completion of a Juris Doctor degree from a California State Bar Accredited Law School. Click here to view a chart of Bar exam requirements by state.
