Once the candidate has successfully passed the LARE and has
acquired registration in one state, in order to practice in another state
he or she must acquire registration in each additional state through
a process of reciprocity. In the United States, professional licensure is
required by each state to practice landscape architecture, engineering,
medicine, law, contracting, and the like. In other countries, a national
requirement enables one to practice in any province or region. An inter-
esting development for the member countries of the European Union
(EU) is close to finalization. Individuals who have graduated from the
equivalent of an accredited university professional program in one EU
member country will be able to practice their profession in any of the
EU member countries. The legal and liability environment of these
countries, unlike that in the United States, allows for the universal
acceptance of a recognized professional degree. In our case, the federal
constitution implicitly acknowledges states' rights to administer individ-
ual professional licensure and associated laws.
