So ... maybe he can still be a laywer in maine or california or something?

I think he'd have to re-enter the bar exam.

you're right. Each state you need a separate license. Each state has a bar exam and you have to pass it to obtain your license.

"he can no longer practice law in Florida, and cannot reapply to practice law in Florida at some later date. "
But seeing as he cannot reapply in Florida, it would make sense that he can't retake the bar in the states that wouldn't let him practice because of the Florida disbarredment (under these 'model rules') as well, no?

[Valter]

The main problem is that getting disbarred basically is a black mark on your permanent record. I doubt any other state would hire him now that he's been disbarred once.

Right. And passing the bar in any state is a huge, huge, HUGE pain the butt. That goes double for California, which has a less than 50% bar passage rate.
