Is it possible to be a lawyer in 2 states or more?
Asked by jOH
I know you have to take all the test for the state where you want to be licensed but can I take test in other states as well. I would like to be a lawyer in illinois indiana and ohio? Do you know any lawyer that is licensed in every state?

Best Answer:
Yes, you can. You just have to take the bar exam in every state.

After passing a State bar exam you are able to practice law in that specific state. However much of what is covered in the exam is the common law that has been developed and established in a particular state. People/companies will sue in a specific state so as to obtain some perceived some benefits established in common law in the specific state. You will be able to practice law in either state, but every case will be in one or the other state, either Plaintiff v Defendant under Illinois law or Indiana law.
