California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Raffaelli v. Committee of Bar Examiners, 101 Cal.Rptr. 896, 496 P.2d 1264, 7 Cal.3d 288 (Cal. 1972):
Nevertheless, within these limitations aliens were admitted to the California bar for a period of 70 years. (See, e.g., Howden v. State Bar (1929) 208 Cal. 604, 283 P. 820.) 2 This situation prevailed in California until 1931, when the State Bar Act was amended to restrict membership, as in the early years of our statehood, to United States citizens. (Stats.1931, ch. 861, p. 1761.)
