Special Licenses
Law students and attorneys may be admitted via the bar exam or through bar reciprocity / admission on motion. Many jurisdictions also carve out limited or temporary admission for specific categories of lawyers. Those paths may take the form of a temporary license, registration, an unauthorized-practice safe harbor, or (less often) full admission.
BarReciprocity.com groups the most common special-admission categories below. Each hub includes a short overview and a map of jurisdictions with related rules; state pages then summarize the local rule and link to official sources. See also pro hac vice for case-specific appearances.
