integrated bar

integrated bar
The act of organizing the bar of a state into an association, membership in which is a condition precedent to the right to practice law. Integration is generally accomplished by enactment of a statute conferring authority upon the highest court of the state to integrate the bar, or by rule of court in the exercise of its inherent power. Integration of Bar Case, 244 Wis. 8, 11 N.W.2d 604.
A "unified bar" or an "integrated bar" is qualitatively different from a "voluntary bar"; membership in a unified or integrated bar is compulsory, whereas membership in a voluntary bar is voluntary, and in effect, one is not at liberty to resign from a unified bar, for, by so doing, one loses the privilege to practice law. Petition of Chapman, 128 N.H. 24, 509 A.2d 753, 756
