            Congratulations. It's no small accomplishment. I guess this means you'll be staying on in Atlanta then.

                    You really should have taken the bar exam here in California, Imran. It's a lot harder and you have to wait until Thanksgiving to get results.

                    IIRC, if your multistate score is high enough, you can apply for the DC bar within _?_ years without having to take their bar exam. And a reasonably high multistate can get you into the Wisconsin bar.

                      From all I've heard, it isn't (harder that is). California just allows anyone to take it, which makes the passage rates much less. But their exam isn't harder than, say, Georgia's. Though I did hear they added a 3rd day for the exam.

                      Actually, IIRC, the DC bar will accept you if you have been accepted to the bar in any other state. They have total reciprocity. That's so people can argue in the Supreme Court from all around the country without having to be 'checked' (IIRC).

                        Of course, the Supreme Court has its own Bar, with its own requirements (that doesn't include a Bar exam).
                        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                          There are some states that have reciprocity deals, meaning that if you pass State A's bar, you may also practce in State B. Does Georgia have any such deals?

                            I think it's with Tennessee and Alabama or something like that. I'm not entirely sure.

                              I just know Imran will be a *good* lawyer — you'll *never* work on class-action lawsuits that provide a multi-million dollar percentage of any settlement to the lawyers and pennies to the plantiffs, will you?

                                Although "anyone" can take it, almost no one is dumb enough to try and walk in off the street and take it. Competition is fierce. There's five fully accredited law schools in the LA are feeding graduates in (USC, UCLA, Loyola, Pepperdine and Whittier) plus a slew of good unaccredited law schools (Southwest, Western, Glendale, LaVerne, etc.).
