If a person has graduated from law school, passed the bar, and possesses a valid law license, he or she can practice law regardless of whether he or she is a retired government employee. However, being a retired government employee does not allow a person to bypass the normal method of becoming a lawyer.

You should check the terms of your retirement annuity. You will also need to check the tax implications if you are receiving retirement funds.
You also need to check with your state bar association. In states that require CLE, you may have been exempt from CLE requirements as a government employee, but now need to fulfill certain CLE requirements before resuming your practice.
