Hello,
I am currently enrolled in a Corporate law LLM program, and I don't think what I studied would qualify me for NY bar, however, I've been looking around and realized that I might qualify for Cali bar but I read it is the hardest bar, so do you think that I have a chance passing it with me being a foreign graduate? I have another question, so if I took the Cali bar and then wanted to practice in Michigan for example, I remember I read that I would be able to practice as an in-house counsel with the Cali bar, does anyone have more accurate info? thanks

If you are currently "enrolled" you can take extra credits from NYU. Or run across the city and take those credits at brooklyn college of law or some other university. Take the NY bar exam.

Thank you for the reply, but in what way do u think that the NY bar is better than Cali? Also, NY bar rules require that all the credit to be part of my course of study, but I have only 9 credits left. In addition, they have the 24 months length requirement which I am about to exceed.

NY isn't "better" than CA. CA is just harder. Course of study, is also credits you acquire at any other accredited law school. Includes the cheaper one in Brooklyn. NY bar is going to help you more with your corporate law aspirations. NY is the commercial hub.
