# Attorney Admissions > Open reference data on attorney admission: how lawyers are admitted to each U.S. federal district court and state bar (including admission on motion, UBE score transfer and pro hac vice), with fees, rules and source links. 94 federal district courts, 51 state and D.C. bars. Data is CC0 and may be reused freely. Values come from the courts' and bars' own published rules; values carry source links, and most carry a verbatim quote from the source. Gaps are shown as unknown, never as none.
