Most U.S. states require applicants to hold a J.D. degree to seek admission to the Bar. However, a few U.S. states have historically permitted graduates of an LLM program, who do not hold a J.D.degree, to sit for the bar examination if they meet other requirements related to both their prior degree and the types of credits earned during the LLM program. A separate Board of Law Examiners for each state establishes and periodically revises the requirements for admission. In addition to a bar examination, there are character, fitness, and other qualifications for admission to the bar in every U.S. jurisdiction.
To discuss possible eligibility for the bar exam in the limited number of states that currently permit foreign-educated lawyers to take their exam, please contact us.
