It could mark one of the biggest changes for lawyers joining the profession since the first U.S. bar examination was given in Delaware in 1763 -- a single bar exam aimed at standardizing attorney credentials nationwide.

The test will allow law school graduates to transport their bar scores across state lines without re-taking exams.
