The Florida Bar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Florida Bar is the integrated bar association for the state of Florida. It is the third largest such bar association in the United States.[1] Its duties include the regulation and discipline of attorneys.
As elsewhere in the United States, persons seeking admission to the bar must pass a moral character screening, in this case administered by the Florida Board of Bar Examiners. Admission to the bar includes passing a background investigation, the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination, and the bar exam, which tests both the common law through the Multistate Bar Exam and Florida law through written state essays and state specific multiple-choice questions.
The Florida Bar's headquarters building and annex are located in Tallahassee three blocks from the Florida State Capitol.
