Well, the medical profession doesn't. So it's probably dangerous to assume lawyers do. John Oliver did a piece on that a few weeks ago. Lose your medical license in one state? Just move to another state. And it takes a ridiculous amount of malfeasance to remove the license of a doctor. I'm assuming, even at the local level, the same is true for a lawyer. Can the lawyer then just move and take a different state bar exam?
There really should be a national database, and perhaps national certification, so that people can't just move to set up practice somewhere else.
