Dr. Agajanian practiced in 36 states and 8 countries with his California license. 48 of the 50 states require some form of lawyer experience in addition to taking and passing the California Bar Exam prior to taking the bar exam in that state. Check your local state bar rules and regulations. However, once you are admitted as a California lawyer, you can arrange to take the desired state bar examination. Most states require 3 to 5 years of active practice as a condition precedent to the taking of their bar examination.
Some states are more restrictive than others.
For instance, Florida is requiring 10 years of active practice. In the meantime, you can practice in federal court throughout the United States. Each federal court requires that you get sworn in to their specific federal district court prior to making the first court appearance in their court. There are programs that will accept our students on a case by case basis. You would then have a degree from an ABA school as well as the JD from our school that should allow you to practice in more states.
