Bar Qualifications
As you think about where you want to work after law school, please know that there are character, fitness, and other qualifications for admission to any bar. Each state bar has a website with admission rules. We encourage you now to determine what the requirements are in the state(s) in which you think you may want to practice.

Bar Admission
Many states have a rule which allows third-year law students to represent clients if they are supervised by a practicing lawyer. Students are encouraged to learn about the rule in the states where they hope to practice.

Student Registration
Some states encourage students to register with the bar while they are students. Alabama is such a state. To learn more about registering with the Alabama State Bar read the information in the following links:
