Morrison has been held to no more onerous requirements for
admission to the North Carolina bar than any citizen of North Carolina. Simply because he practiced in California, a state not having reciprocity with North Carolina, for four of the last six years, does not mean that his constitutional rights have been violated. He does not
meet the requirements of the North Carolina Board of Bar Examiners
Rule .0502(3), a valid rule. Thus, he must seek an alternative method
of gaining admission, such as taking the bar exam, as do all the other
North Carolina lawyers similarly situated. We are of opinion and hold
that Rule .0502(3) is valid.
