A law license is an official certification that allows an individual to practice law in a specific jurisdiction. To obtain a law license, candidates typically must complete a law degree, pass a written examination, and meet other requirements set by the state or country’s legal authority. This process ensures that only qualified individuals can represent clients and provide legal advice. Once licensed, lawyers can work in various fields, including criminal law, family law, and corporate law. Maintaining a law license often requires ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards set by professional organizations, such as the American Bar Association.
