[blindlaw] Federal law Question

Tue Jun 21 17:45:53 UTC 2011

In the federal courts in which I am admitted, there was no test. 

Usually, once you are admitted to the State Bar you automatically qualify
for admission into each federal court.  Another attorney can move your
admission before a judge. In some courts you send in a form together with a
certificate of good standing from your state bar. You have to pay a fee of
course. You get admitted to practice Court by Court.  For example, if you
want to be admitted to all federal district courts in California, that
requires four separate admissions.  Admission to the ninth Circuit is a
separate admission.

Don't confuse admission to practice in a federal court with the Federal Bar.
The Federal Bar is like the A.B.A; you don't have to belong to these
organizations to be admitted to federal courts.  

p.s. If you want to go to boring luncheons, listen to a lot of self
congratulatory speeches, and listen to a lot of pompous old men make fools
of themselves, by all means join the Federal Bar in your local community.

Respectfully,

Yes, you have to become licensed for the federal bar, which involves paying
a fee to your federal district court.  Look up your local federal district
court on google, and the website should have info on which office to contact
and the fees to become licensed by the federal bar in your district.  For
the district of NM it was $150.00, and fairly quick to get my certificate.

Sincerely,
Marina A. Cordova

How would I go about becoming a federal Lawyer? Is their a federal bar? Or
do you joine the bar of the United States supreme court? In other words,
what are the qualifications needed to practice federal law? RJ
