If someone graduates law school but does NOT take the bar exam...?

If an individual graduates law school but chooses (for whatever reason) to not take the bar exam, can that individual still put "J.D." behind their name? Or does each State's bar have different policies on that? Thanks.

The J.D. is the degree earned, not taking the bar doesn't remove that. Someone could put it after their name, but I'm not sure what good it would serve, since they can't practice law legally without passing the bar.
