In the phrase "state bar," the word "bar" is referring to the body of lawyers who are qualified to practice law in that particular state/jurisdiction.

The bar is also a railing found in a courtroom which separates people conducting court related business, i.e. lawyers, judges, court personnel, witnesses, parties to a case, etc., from observers. The phrase "passing the bar" refers, not only to passing the bar exam, but also to a rite of passage - you transition from an observer to a lawyer by passing through the bar (the railing) during your swearing in ceremony (if this is part of your ceremony).

The BAR Association is an entitlement given to lawyers and judges who make an oath to the British Accredidation Registry.
