According to some bar associations, all people are created equal and presumed innocent, except lawyers in good standing licensed in other 49 states. We don’t believe this fiction. We don’t believe a reasonable person would believe that lawyers as a class should countenance unequal treatment. A lawyer who will not seek to enforce and protect his or her own rights is not much of a lawyer. We seek to uphold the truth and the rule of law. We thus request your assistance in protecting and enforcing the right of all lawyers and Americans to Equal Justice Under Law.
Who we are
The Lawyers for Fair Reciprocal Admission (LFRA) is a California-based legal organization dedicated to promoting uniformity in bar admissions across the United States. Our mission is to establish a standardized, equitable framework that allows licensed attorneys to practice law across state lines without unnecessary barriers, fostering fairness, mobility, and access within the legal profession.
We believe that the current patchwork of state-specific licensing requirements undermines the principles of equal opportunity and national legal cohesion. LFRA advocates for policy reform, engages with stakeholders in the legal community, and raises awareness about the importance of reciprocity. By streamlining the admission process, we aim to enhance legal services, reduce inefficiencies, and empower attorneys to better serve clients regardless of jurisdiction.
