Close. In most states, one needs to graduate law school to practice law. But at least it used to be true that if you graduated law school in Wyoming, you were automatically not just a lawyer, but an admitted attorney at law.The Bar Exam is the test that allows you to practice Law. It is what you take to get your law license. You have to pass law school to take the test, but you can’t practice law without the Bar.
So graduating doesn’t make you a practicing lawyer.
Nowadays, in most of not all states, a JD makes you a lawyer. But passing the Bar is required to be an admitted practicing attorney at law.
