In Brazil, bar admissions are controlled by the OAB (Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil), which administers a rigorous national exam. In the USA, bar admissions are state-specific, meaning lawyers must be admitted to practice in each individual state where they wish to work. This reflects different legal systems and federalism structures between the two countries.
