  Trial lawyers meet with clients and agree to represent them in court cases. After performing legal research, trial lawyers go to court to argue their client's case on their behalf to the judge or jury. A bachelor's degree followed by three years of law school is the necessary education for this vocation. Trial lawyers have to pass a bar examination to be licensed with the state.
  
  Trial lawyers are attorneys who regularly represent a party in a trial and argue the client's case for them. A trial lawyer can be employed with the state, a business or with a private law firm. Regardless of their employer, trial lawyers examine all the necessary evidence, research laws and study judicial decisions that are relevant to the case at hand. Trial lawyers regularly meet with their clients to discuss their options and the strategy that is going to be taken once at the trial.
  
  Presenting a case at trial can be a difficult experience. Trial lawyers usually start with an opening argument, then as the trial moves on they take turns presenting evidence, addressing the judge and interviewing and cross-examining witnesses. At the end of the case, trial lawyers present a closing argument and await the decision of the judge or jury.
  
  An ethics examination and a written bar examination have to be completed by trial lawyers. Sometimes being admitted to one bar allows a trial lawyer to be accepted into another state's bar. However, this is an exception rather than the rule since many states do require trial lawyers to reapply when practicing law in another state.
  
  The bar examination has several prerequisites before an aspiring trial lawyer is qualified to take it. First is graduating from an accredited law school with an appropriate college degree for trial lawyers. After this is done, a trial lawyer needs to figure out what bar examination is required by their state. The majority of states use the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) which is a 6-hour test. Some states use the Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) which is only a 3-hour test.
