Law

The table below indicates earning a Juris Doctor (JD) is deemed to meet the education requirements for licensure in that State. The University of Oregon School of Law is fully accredited by the American Bar Association. Graduation from law school is only the first step towards becoming a member of a State or Territory’s bar. Bar applicants must also pass the bar exam and meet the character and fitness and other qualifications of the jurisdiction(s) in which they intend to practice law. Completion of the University of Oregon’s Juris Doctor program meets state educational requirements to apply for admission to every state’s bar. However, an individual may be required to complete non-credit courses or exams on state law to be eligible for admission. Applicants should consult the website of the bar organizations in the jurisdiction(s) in which they intend to practice law and familiarize themselves with admission requirements.  Please note that this table does not include an evaluation of state specific requirements beyond that of educational and curricular requirements.
