Bar reciprocity—also known as admission on motion—is a critical consideration for attorneys planning to relocate, expand their practice across state lines, or pursue new career opportunities in different jurisdictions. Understanding which states offer reciprocity and which do not can significantly impact your career trajectory, financial planning, and professional development timeline.
In simple terms, bar reciprocity allows attorneys licensed in one jurisdiction to gain admission to practice law in another state without retaking the full bar examination. This privilege can save attorneys months of preparation time and thousands of dollars in exam fees and preparation costs. However, not all states participate in reciprocity agreements, creating significant barriers for attorneys seeking mobility. Attorneys from reciprocal states looking to practice in New York can refer to our comprehensive guide on New York Bar Reciprocity for eligibility and procedural steps. Because reciprocity rules vary widely across jurisdictions, attorneys should consult the Bar Reciprocity by State: Complete Guide for a comprehensive overview of which states allow admission on motion and which require additional steps.
Why Bar Reciprocity Matters: For attorneys considering relocation or multi-state practice, understanding reciprocity rules is essential for strategic career planning. States without reciprocity require full bar examination, which typically involves 4-8 months of preparation, exam fees ranging from $500-$1,500, and bar preparation course costs that can exceed $3,000-$5,000.
Bar Reciprocity in the U.S.: Key Statistics
Understanding Bar Reciprocity: The Basics
What is Admission on Motion?
Admission on motion is a process that allows attorneys who are already licensed and in good standing in one jurisdiction to become licensed in another jurisdiction without taking that state's bar examination. This mechanism recognizes the competence and experience of attorneys who have already proven their legal knowledge and professional fitness. Even if you’re licensed in a non-reciprocal state, you can explore DC options — our Washington DC Bar Reciprocity Requirements 2025 article explains how to qualify.
Most states that offer admission on motion require applicants to meet specific criteria, including:
- Active Practice Requirement: Typically 5 of the last 7 years of active, substantial legal practice
- Good Standing: No disciplinary actions or pending complaints in any jurisdiction
- Educational Requirements: J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school
- Character and Fitness: Satisfaction of moral character requirements
- MPRE Score: Meeting the jurisdiction's minimum Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination score
The Uniform Bar Examination (UBE)
The Uniform Bar Examination is a standardized bar examination developed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE). The UBE consists of three components: Georgia stands apart from non-reciprocal jurisdictions, and this Georgia bar reciprocity requirements article explains how experienced attorneys may still qualify for admission without re-taking the bar.
1. Multistate Bar Examination (MBE): 200 multiple-choice questions covering Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law and Procedure, Evidence, Real Property, and Torts2. Multistate Essay Examination (MEE): Six 30-minute essay questions
3. Multistate Performance Test (MPT): Two 90-minute performance test questions
As of 2025, 41 jurisdictions have adopted the UBE, including 39 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The primary advantage of the UBE is score portability—attorneys can transfer their UBE scores to other UBE jurisdictions, subject to each jurisdiction's specific requirements and minimum score thresholds. Unlike non-reciprocity states, California has specific rules for out-of-state attorneys; explore them in our Complete Guide for Out-of-State Attorneys on California Bar Admission.
States With No General Reciprocity: Complete List
The following states do not offer general admission on motion or bar reciprocity. Attorneys licensed in other jurisdictions typically must take and pass the full bar examination to practice law in these states. However, some limited exceptions may exist for specific practice areas or employment situations. Florida is one of the most well-known non-reciprocity jurisdictions, and you can learn more in our Florida Bar Admission: Complete No-Reciprocity Guide.
Reciprocity Status: No general reciprocity
Why No Reciprocity: California maintains one of the most rigorous and distinctive bar examinations in the country. The state has historically emphasized the unique aspects of California law and believes that all attorneys practicing in the state should demonstrate specific knowledge of California's legal system. Even in states without general reciprocity, understanding Virginia’s rules is useful — see our Virginia Bar Reciprocity Requirements: Complete Guide for a comprehensive overview.
Admission Options:
- General Bar Exam: All applicants must pass the California Bar Examination (typically 40-50% pass rate)
- Attorney's Exam: Attorneys admitted in other U.S. jurisdictions who have practiced for at least 4 years in the last 6 years may take a shorter version (one day instead of two)
- In-House Counsel Registration: Attorneys employed by qualifying corporate legal departments may register to practice solely for their employer
- Limited Legal Services Programs: Attorneys working for qualifying legal aid organizations may practice under special registration
Reciprocity Status: No reciprocity of any kind
Why No Reciprocity: Florida has explicitly rejected reciprocity, requiring all attorneys to demonstrate competence in Florida law through examination. The Florida Supreme Court has maintained this position to ensure all practicing attorneys understand Florida's unique legal landscape. Even in states with no reciprocity, knowing the UBE score requirements can help you plan, which is why our UBE States and Score Requirements: Complete Guide is a useful resource.
Admission Options:
- Florida Bar Examination: All applicants must pass the full Florida Bar Exam, regardless of licensure or experience in other jurisdictions
- Foreign Legal Consultant: Attorneys admitted in foreign countries may qualify for limited practice as foreign legal consultants
- In-House Counsel: Registered in-house counsel may practice exclusively for their corporate employer
Reciprocity Status: No admission on motion
Why No Reciprocity: Despite adopting the UBE in 2019, South Carolina does not offer admission on motion. The state requires all attorneys to demonstrate knowledge through examination.
Admission Options:
- UBE Examination: Take and pass the South Carolina UBE
- UBE Score Transfer: Transfer a qualifying UBE score from another jurisdiction (must meet South Carolina's minimum score of 266)
- In-House Counsel Registration: Limited registration for corporate counsel
Reciprocity Status: No reciprocity
Why No Reciprocity: Louisiana's legal system is based on civil law (specifically the Napoleonic Code) rather than common law, making it fundamentally different from all other U.S. states. This unique legal foundation requires all attorneys to demonstrate specific knowledge of Louisiana's civil law system. To better understand the potential costs of practicing in a state without reciprocity, use our Bar Reciprocity Cost Calculator to plan ahead.
Admission Options:
- Louisiana Bar Examination: Full examination required, covering Louisiana's civil law system
Unique Aspects: Louisiana is the only civil law jurisdiction in the United States, with a legal system based on French and Spanish civil codes rather than English common law. For a broader comparison beyond non-reciprocity jurisdictions, see the Bar Reciprocity by State: Complete Guide for a full national perspective.
Reciprocity Status: No admission on motion
Why No Reciprocity: Delaware maintains no reciprocity despite its small size. The state's prominence in corporate law and its Court of Chancery create a unique legal environment.
Admission Options:
- Delaware Bar Examination: Full examination required (2.5 days)
- Limited Practice: Some limited practice rules for specific circumstances
Reciprocity Status: NO RECIPROCITY OR ADMISSION BY MOTION OF ANY KIND
Admission Options:
- Nevada Bar Examination: Full examination required
- In-House Counsel: Limited practice registration available
- Pro Hac Vice: Temporary admission for specific cases
Reciprocity Status: No admission on motion
Admission Options:
- Hawaii Bar Examination: Full examination required
Reciprocity Status: Very limited reciprocity
Admission Options:
- UBE Score Transfer: Can transfer qualifying UBE scores
- Limited Admission on Motion: Extremely limited, with strict tit-for-tat requirements
States With Very Limited or Conditional Reciprocity
Some jurisdictions allow admission on motion only if strict conditions are met. While these states are technically "reciprocal," they impose requirements that make admission significantly more challenging than in fully reciprocal jurisdictions. By contrast, states that offer full admission on motion, such as Michigan, outline specific and predictable eligibility rules — explained thoroughly in the Michigan bar reciprocity requirements guide.
Typical Conditions Include:
- ABA-accredited J.D. degree
- Specific number of years of practice (often higher than standard)
- Prior passage of the UBE with transferable score
- Prior reciprocity back to that state (mutuality/tit-for-tat requirement)
- Additional coursework or examination components
Key Examples of Limited Reciprocity States
Texas: Requires 3+ years of practice experience in another U.S. jurisdiction. No UBE "portability back" unless the attorney has been licensed for 5+ years. Texas maintains specific requirements that can complicate admission for attorneys from certain jurisdictions.
New York: Offers admission on motion only for attorneys with 5+ years of U.S. practice in jurisdictions that offer reciprocity to New York attorneys. Additional requirements include meeting MPRE score requirements and completing the New York Law Course (NYLC) or 50 hours of continuing legal education in certain subjects. In contrast to non-reciprocal states, Pennsylvania’s process is well-defined — details are available in Pennsylvania Bar Reciprocity Requirements.
Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia: These states operate on a mutual reciprocity basis, meaning they only grant admission on motion to attorneys from states that would similarly admit Alabama/Mississippi/Georgia attorneys. This "tit-for-tat" approach creates a selective reciprocity network. For a practical guide on navigating reciprocity in states that do allow it, see our Massachusetts Bar Reciprocity Requirements: Complete Guide for state-specific procedures and eligibility.” (Massachusetts Bar Reciprocity Requirements: Complete Guide)
U.S. Market Map: A Lateral Recruiting Perspective
For attorneys planning strategic career moves and law firms recruiting lateral talent, understanding the reciprocity landscape by market is essential. Here's how U.S. legal markets break down from a recruiting and attorney mobility perspective: To navigate job searches in states with unique bar rules, the Top 250 US Cities – Bar Associations & Job Boards Directory provides a helpful city-by-city resource list.
| Category | Markets/Regions | Recruiting Reality |
|---|---|---|
| Full Reciprocity / UBE-Friendly | Most Northeast + Midwest + Mountain West | Easiest lateral moves — Minimal barriers for experienced attorneys |
| Limited/Conditional Reciprocity | TX, NY, GA, AL, MS | Possible but conditional — Experience requirements and mutuality rules apply |
| No Reciprocity (Exam Required) | CA, FL, LA, DE, NV, SC, MT, HI + territories | Hardest markets to enter — Bar exam commitment required regardless of experience |
Strategic Licensing for Maximum U.S. Portability
For attorneys seeking maximum flexibility and career mobility across U.S. markets, maintaining active licenses in certain strategic jurisdictions provides significant advantages:
Best States for Maximum Portability:
- District of Columbia — The #1 "reciprocity hub" for BigLaw laterals. DC offers broad reciprocity and is accepted in most admission-on-motion states
- Illinois — Strong UBE portability with broad reciprocity agreements
- Minnesota — Excellent reciprocity network with lower UBE score requirement (260)
- Missouri — Good reciprocity arrangements with many jurisdictions
- Tennessee — Strong reciprocity profile in the South
- Colorado — Mountain West hub with strong reciprocity
- Washington — West Coast option with better reciprocity than California
High-Value Markets That Require Bar Exams
The following markets represent major legal hubs with significant opportunities but pose substantial barriers for lateral recruitment due to non-reciprocity: Unlike restrictive jurisdictions, Illinois offers defined pathways for experienced lawyers, detailed in this Illinois bar reciprocity requirements guide for out-of-state attorneys.
Major Non-Reciprocal Markets:
- California (Los Angeles / San Francisco / Silicon Valley) — The largest non-reciprocal market in the U.S. Home to massive litigation, entertainment, technology, and corporate practices. Despite being the biggest legal market, California's lack of reciprocity creates significant lateral hiring challenges.
- Florida (Miami / Tampa / Orlando) — Major growth market with strong litigation, real estate, and corporate practices. No reciprocity of any kind makes lateral moves particularly challenging.
- Nevada (Las Vegas) — Strong litigation market with growing corporate and gaming law practices. Explicit no-reciprocity policy requires full bar examination.
- South Carolina (Charleston / Greenville) — Despite being a UBE jurisdiction, South Carolina's no-admission-on-motion policy creates barriers for experienced attorneys seeking to enter this growing market.
Strategic Implications for Law Firms and Attorneys
For Law Firms Recruiting Laterals:
- California and Florida offices face the steepest lateral recruiting challenges
- Offering bar exam support (study time, prep courses, exam fees) is essential for non-reciprocal markets
- Lead time for lateral hires in non-reciprocal states should be 6-12 months to allow for bar preparation
- In-house counsel registration can provide a bridge solution for corporate practice laterals
For Attorneys Planning Careers:
- Early-career attorneys should consider taking the bar in both a reciprocal hub (DC, IL) and their target practice location
- Mid-career attorneys considering California or Florida moves should begin bar preparation 6-8 months in advance
- Maintaining multiple bar admissions in strategic jurisdictions maximizes long-term career flexibility
- The cost of maintaining multiple licenses (CLE + annual fees) is often justified by enhanced mobility

2. Assess Alternative Paths
- In-House Counsel Registration: Check whether the state offers in-house counsel registration

3. Financial Preparation
Budget for the following expenses:
- Bar Exam Application Fee: $500-$1,500
- Bar Preparation Course: $3,000-$5,000
- Character and Fitness Investigation: $200-$700

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
No. California does not offer admission on motion regardless of years of practice. However, attorneys admitted in other U.S. jurisdictions who have actively practiced law for at least 4 of the past 6 years may take the California Attorney's Examination, which is shorter (one day instead of two days) than the General Bar Examination.
Your years of practice matter only if you're seeking admission in a state that offers reciprocity. Many states do offer reciprocity to attorneys from non-reciprocal states if the attorney meets the practice requirements. Check each individual state's rules carefully.
Not necessarily. The UBE tests general principles of law that are common across jurisdictions, while state-specific exams focus on that state's particular laws. However, the UBE's advantage is score portability, allowing you to use your score in multiple jurisdictions.
In-house counsel registration allows attorneys who are employed by corporate legal departments to practice law exclusively for their employer without taking the state bar exam. Requirements typically include being licensed in at least one U.S. jurisdiction, being employed full-time by a qualifying organization, and meeting character and fitness requirements.
UBE score validity varies by jurisdiction. Most jurisdictions accept UBE scores earned within the past 3 years, though some accept scores up to 5 years old. Always check the specific requirements of the jurisdiction where you're seeking admission.
Yes. Many attorneys hold licenses in multiple jurisdictions. However, you must meet continuing legal education (CLE) requirements for each state, pay annual bar dues in each jurisdiction, and maintain good standing in all jurisdictions.
Conclusion: Strategic Career Planning
Understanding bar reciprocity rules is essential for strategic career planning in the legal profession. While approximately 12 states maintain no or very limited reciprocity, attorneys have more options than ever for multi-jurisdictional practice through alternative pathways.
For attorneys considering relocation to non-reciprocal states, the key takeaways are:
1. Plan Early: Give yourself adequate time to prepare for bar examinations2. Explore Alternatives: Investigate in-house counsel registration and UBE score transfer options
3. Budget Appropriately: Factor in all costs including exam fees and preparation courses
4. Leverage Experience: Your years of practice provide advantages in exam preparation
5. Think Strategically: Consider taking the UBE in a favorable jurisdiction if you anticipate future relocations
6. Stay Informed: Bar admission rules change; monitor developments in your target jurisdictions
