Notes

[edit]

Pinging @Voorts. I just made a slightly subtle edit, removing "bar" (which means something different outside the US, and also something different to people who don't know the legal sense) and adding "licensed to practice". The subtlety is that a license (noun) nowadays in a US state involves just slightly more than being admitted to the bar ... but Johnboddie (a retired lawyer) believes that it's fine here, particularly in the verb form "licensed" rather than "a license" (since fulfilling the requirements of a state-sponsored organization is a form of licensing). Thoughts and edits are welcome. - Dank (push to talk) 22:59, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In my experience, attorneys in the US (myself included) use "licensed to practice" and "admitted to the bar" interchangeably, but I'm fine with that edit. voorts (talk/contributions) 14:00, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
