Answer to Question 1

Every state has enacted statutes that establish the requirements necessary to obtain a license to practice law in the jurisdiction. The general criteria for obtaining a license to practice are that the individual should be a graduate of an accredited law school; possess good moral character; and successfully pass the state bar authorizing him to practice law in that state. If he did not take the bar in his current state, has this state granted him the privilege to practice in this state under the doctrine of reciprocity?

Answer to Question 2
