Passing the bar exam is the final step that will help you become a legitimate lawyer after completing law school. If you choose to practice law in another state, you must select that state for the exam. Once you are admitted to the bar in one state, most often you will only be permitted to practice law there. As an exception, some states have signed agreements that allow law professionals to practice without taking another exam.
Once a law graduate passes the bar and enters law school, he or she typically works in law firms. Other options include clerking for a judge, starting your own law firm, working for the government or the military, joining a corporate legal department, working for a non-profit organization, or becoming a professor.
After getting their Juris Doctor (J.D.), obtaining a Master of Laws and Doctor of Juridical Science are other options available.
