Reciprocity in this context refers to a state allowing a member of the bar assocation of a different state to obtain a license in that state without sitting for and passing a separate bar examination.

Reciprocity is often allowed when your state offers the same option of admission to the bar without examination to licensed attorneys from the state to which you wish to apply.

State bar assocations often have reciprocity agreements with states that share a boarder. Check with states where you would like to obtain a license, you may have to first practice in your state without suspension for 5 or more years, then pay an application fee ($800 or so) to apply to the neighboring state.

As of 2002, Georgia does allow admission on motion for practicing attorneys. You have to have practiced 5 of the prior 7 years, be admitted in a state that recognizes comity/reciprocity, and be found fit to practice in GA. Attorneys in good standing with another state bar who do not meet the 5 of 7 requirement or the comity/reciprocity requirement can be admitted after taking the essay portion of the GA Bar exam.


Does Indiana bar have reciprocity with Ohio?

Generally, no. Ohio bar exam reciprocity is very limited, and Indiana's reciprocity is based on the attorney having 5 to 7 years' experience and intending to practice law predominately in Indiana. An Ohio-licensed attorney may apply for a provisional one-year admission to the Indiana Bar if he fulfills these requirements; after five consecutive provisional admissions, the Ohio-licensed attorney is eligible for full admission to the Indiana Bar.
