The Practice of Law in General
To practice law in a specific state, you must pass a bar exam. You will be required to take a lawyer's oath, after which you will officially be a lawyer in that particular state.

Different States, Different Bars
Every state has the power to license its legal professionals. Since the United States follows a federal system of government, each state is allowed to have its own set of statutes, along with its own state Constitution. Thus, if you pass the bar in California, you may practice law within that state. However, if you want practice law in Michigan, you will need to pass the bar in Michigan as well.

The Michigan Lawyer
A Michigan lawyer is a person licensed to practice law in Michigan. The Michigan lawyer will presumably be well versed in the state laws, and should be adept in Michigan court procedures. A Michigan lawyer is usually a resident of the state of Michigan, but not always.

The Michigan Bar Exams
If you are considering a career in law in the state of Michigan, the bar exam is usually held on July. The results are released quickly and the taking of oaths is held soon after.

When In Michigan, Do as they Do
Every Michigan lawyer is held accountable to the ethical and legal standards imposed upon lawyers in Michigan. The Michigan lawyer must comply with these standards, otherwise he incurs the risk of being disbarred.

Michigan Malpractice
For serious offenses committed by lawyers, such as blatant violations of the attorney-client privilege, a Michigan lawyer may be disbarred. Proceedings for disbarment are very serious, as the result is the stripping of the Michigan lawyer's license to practice law. The term Michigan malpractice is actually quite tame compared to what can happen to a lawyer who is disbarred. Malpractice will not always lead to the loss of the privilege to practice medicine; disbarment always results in the loss of the privilege to practice law.
