Hi,

I have a JD from a highly-ranked law program in a US university, California bar membership and have 6 months work experience at a mid-tier firm. My legal work experience is mostly transactional and in government and public law agency, business law, contract law, land use and real estate development and community economic development. I also have a MA from a top-ranked anthropology program and have some relevant course work (both law and anthro) working with Native American tribes.

My wife is an Aussie and got a job back in Australia. She will start next year and I am trying to figure out what options I might have/the best way to make me more attractive to the legal market in Australia.

It seems that years in work experience may be an issue. It looks like I have covered most "equivalent" areas of law required in Australia, except Admin law.

It seems that an LLM may not really help with my situation, but is there other coursework I should take? Anything I can do from the US? We are prepared to spend time apart, but would like to avoid this.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
