Bar License Reciprocity/Waiver for Louisiana Lawyers? No State In Particular
Posted on 8/15/15 at 8:01 pm

Curious if any posters licensed in Louisiana have been admitted to the bar of any other State without having to take another bar exam.
Fees? Years in practice requirement?
TIA

Texas is the key. You just need 5 years in and you can get your license.
then use Texas as a jumping off point

No MBE or Competency Exam?

I think I have to retake the MPRE because Texas has higher standards than Louisiana.

California, Georgia, Idaho, Maine, Maryland, and Rhode Island recognize and give limited reciprocity to members of the Louisiana Bar and allow admission on an "Attorney's Exam."
D.C., Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin extend bar admission reciprocity to Louisiana attorneys by way of admission on motion.
Not sure of each respective state's time requirements for practicing in LA before reciprocating, however.

Yea looks like I'll have to retake MPRE for Texas, they require an 85.
I think I got the minimum for Louisiana (80?).
Of course, I took the test on a Saturday morning as a 2L during football season...
We would rock it now, I'm certain.

TN 5 years in good standing minimum had to retake MPRE that's it

fwiw I think Illinois is the same rule as texas: 5 years barred practice, you're in on motion.

We don't need any more lawdawgs in tejas.

Some states have some weird rules. Virginia requires you set up an office there or whatever to waive in. Alabama requires that 75% of your practice be there if you waive in iirc. How they enforce any of that is beyond me. Guess you get annually reviewed and they can take back the license?
As for MPRE, score over 100 and don't worry about it again
I'll probably get Tennessee next. Have LA and should have TX soon. Should give me some options down the line if needed.

I sat last month for work.
Blew donkey balls.
Wish I had waived in but I was chasing money.

Ya my only question with waiving in after TX was that most states usually require 5 of last 7 years practicing. From your experience, do they(Colorado) care that for instance, 4 of your 5 were LA and you only had a TX license for one year?
That was the only potential "gotcha" I thought of but was hoping/assuming it wouldn't be the case.

Sure, you get to skip the multistate, but 2 days of 3 essays and 1 practical exam, pulled out of 13 potential subjects, is no piece of cake.
Passed it first time though.

I'm curious about this too. If you motion in to Texas and practice in LA, can you use your Texas admission to motion in to Mississippi?
