Does the Massachusetts bar have reciprocity with Virginia?

Answer 1

According to this site, no: http://juristech.com/chart.html

Any lawyer from outside MA must have been practicing 5 years and be in good standing in the jurisdictions to which he/she is admitted in order to waive into MA.

Answer 2

Yes, under one of the following provisions:

1) Membership in good standing for 5 years prior to application from any state bar; OR

2) Membership in good standing in any state bar and a scaled score of 133 on the MBE and a scaled score of 75 on the MPRE and a JD from an ABA accredited law school; OR

3) An applicant can use a scaled MBE score of 133 or better in the past 25 months. The applicant must then attain a 133 on the essay portion of the examination

Answer 3

The Florida Bar at this time offers no reciprocity to any state. Other state lawyers that reciprocate with Virginia Bar lawyers can do so in that state.
