Reciprocity and the Bar

Reciprocity is found in many of examples, but one that stood out very noticeably was pre-law students and the Bar.  All states require a different set of requirements for their up-coming attorney's to test and pass the Bar.  These are called reciprocity laws amongst the states.  Nineteen states require a passing of the Bar to enter it, while the other states do not.  However there is a reciprocity law restricting attorney's to practice law in states who have admission standards that the attorney has not passed.

However some states offer law reciprocity in adjoining states where the Bar that was passed is accepted in certain states.  In-house corporate attorneys may be able to avoid these reciprocity laws because they only have one client and do not deal with numerous people and cases.  This term is used very specifically in legal matters as well in our book working through conflict that has similar but different relating ideas.http://www.lawcrossing.com/article/1084/Reciprocity-Laws-Among-the-States/
