A law school graduate obtains his or her Juris Doctorate degree. To become an attorney, s/he must then take and pass the bar exam administered by the state in which s/he will practice law. Thereafter, that person will always be a lawyer -- but whether he or she can practice law or not is determined by her "standing" as a lawyer. Either she is in "good standing," or she is not. A lawyer who is not in good standing is generally prohibiting from practicing law. (Falling out of good standing is most often the result of a failure to pay annual dues.)

Is a law graduate an attorney?
No. An attorney is a person who has graduated from law school and also has a license to practice law. Upon graduation from law school, most graduates apply to state bars for admission, must be certified as fit, and sit for the bar exam. If they meet all requirements, they can then be sworn in and given a license to practice law. At that time, they are attorneys. However, many people graduate from law school and never get licensed to practice. They may opt to pursue a different career, or may not be able to meet fitness or exam requirements, or there may be some other reason. These people are referred to as JDs, but not attorneys.
