There are character, fitness, and other qualifications for admission to the bar.
All jurisdictions have standards of character and fitness that candidates are required to meet in order to be admitted to the bar and practice law there.
Applicants are encouraged to determine what those requirements are in the state(s) in which they intend to practice by consulting the website of the National Conference of Bar Examiners.
Applicants should also try to consult with an official of the bar as necessary to discover whether any past conduct could keep them from becoming admitted to the bar upon graduation from law school.
