Many states have special requirements for admission to the practice of law, such as registration prior to beginning the study of law, citizenship requirements, satisfactory completion of required law school courses, and evidence of good character. These requirements for all states can be found in Comprehensive Guide to Bar Admissions, published by the American Bar Association and the National Conference of Bar Examiners. Ascertainment and fulfillment of such requirements are the responsibility of the individual student, and it is recommended that students contact directly the clerk of the supreme court or board of bar examiners of the state in which bar admission will be sought to obtain current rules and regulations.
