4 years I think 'til reciprocity kicks in, but I think I still have to take some civil procedure classes. No big deal there. On this end of the country, where our states are much larger and less populated, being licensed in one state is generally good enough. It sometimes pays to pay dues to more than one state. I don't generally practice in the federal courts, but having my Western District of Oklahoma admission has already paid off once.

As you mentioned you're an RA...I'm actually starting to study for the AREs now because my gf is an Architect and needs some help focusing and I'm pretty good at the vignettes so I figured I could help her out. I think they're kind of fun!
