The concept of the integrated bar was discussed in Keller v. State Bar of California,496U.S.1 (1990), in which the U.S. Supreme Court agreed with the Supreme Court of California that the state could force lawyers to join the State Bar of California and pay fees as a condition of practicing law in the state. However, the Court then went on to hold that the state bar could not force lawyers to pay for political and ideological activities with which they did not agree.
