Not unless they become members of the bar in the appropriate state. Each state sets up the requirements to practice law in their state, and it varies, but in general: Complete a law degree (There are a few states that do not require that) Take and pass the Professional Responsibility Exam Submit a completed application that includes citizenship, fingerprint checks, background investigations and criminal record check. Take and pass the State Bar Exam. You can apply to transfer your membership from one state to another and some states will allow this, others will not. (Florida does not, too many retired attorneys wanting to retire there.)

Does the Supreme Court control the practice of law in New York?

No. The practice of law is controlled by the state.Generally a person must be admitted to the bar by the jurisdiction in which they wish to practice. Every US state has its own rules for admission to the state bar. A lawyer who is licensed to practice law in one state is not automatically allowed to practice law in another state.Admission to the state bar does not entitle an attorney to practice in federal court. There is a separate admission process in each federal district. An attorney who wants to practice in the US Supreme Court must complete the requirements and process to do so.

How much does a lawyer get paid a year?

It depends on the type of lawyer, who they work for, and where they are located. Government lawyers can make as little as 40,000 a year. Private practice attorneys can do really well if they have a good reputation, and a good practice. In the long run, money is not a good reason to decide to be a lawyer. Most of us do not make the money necessary to justify the cost of the education.
