In New Jersey, the Supreme Court has exclusive authority over attorney admission, often termed "admission to the bar" rather than a "license," and they issue a Certificate of Good Standing
. While attorney registration cards are technically membership identification with a bar number, NJ court rules, such as R. 1:27-2, explicitly refer to being "licensed to practice law".
  • Admission Process: The NJ Supreme Court oversees admission, requiring completion of bar examinations or motions, character certification, and an oath.
  • Terminology: While legal, the focus is on being "admitted to the bar" or maintaining "good standing" to practice, with certificates often reflecting this status.
  • Licensing: NJ Courts Rules do use the term "licensed," but it is a regulatory admission by the high court, not a generic business license.
  • Bar Card: This serves as a identification confirming the attorney is currently registered and in good standing with the state, say the New Jersey Board of Bar Examiners.
Ultimately, the state supreme court acts as the regulatory body that approves and maintains a roster of individuals allowed to practice law, which is, functionally, a professional license.
1:27-2. Limited License; In-House Counsel. * (i) The applicant certifies that he or she is a member in good standing of the bar of the highest court
