There is no absolute bar from obtaining a license to practice law with a DUI/DWI, but the process does involve an extensive background check, and explanation is probably necessary. A committee generally will make the decision about whether or not you are fit to practice law in light of your prior indiscretion.

If you already have a law license, being cited for DUI/DWI will not necessarily lead to revocation of your license, but it could. It's fact specific.
