Using the Diploma Privilege
If you intend to practice in Wisconsin when you graduate, or think you
may return to Wisconsin in the future, there is a clear benefit to satisfying the Wisconsin Diploma Privilege.
Even if you're not planning to practice in Wisconsin, there are still reasons you should consider satisfying the diploma privilege:
- It allows you to practice in most federal agencies (such as the IRS, FTC, SEC, etc.) without taking a bar exam.
- You would be a licensed attorney while you are studying for the bar in another state, meaning you may be able to handle legal matters for your employer that graduates from other states cannot.
- You will be licensed in more than one state, which is appealing to many employers.
