Arizona: Bar rules upheld RCole3

The lawyer was forced to sit examinations as California does not have a reciprocal arrangement with Arizona over admission to the bar.  She failed the exam and challenged the rules as discriminatory. The Arizona court upheld bar rules allowing lawyers from states with reciprocal arrangements to practice without having to take a bar exam. The court found that the rule was not discriminatory.
