Vanderbilt Law Review

This Special Project examines and analyzes selected constitutional challenges to requirements for permanent and temporary admission to the bar. In the area of permanent admission, the Special Project looks at constitutional challenges to three qualifications typically required of bar applicants by states: demonstration of good moral character, successful completion of a bar examination, and residency. In the area of admission "pro hac vice", the Project examines constitutional challenges to the basis on which judges have denied temporary admission to an applicant.
