Hi everyone,
I am a 2nd year LL.B. candidate at the University of the West Indies, in the Caribbean (Barbados to be exact) and my career plan is to become a Corporate Lawyer in the United States. I have a B.Sc. International Relations and Economics (First Class Honours) and I was wondering if pursuing the LLM is a good idea. Or should i try to get into doing the Bar exams before I consider doing a LL.M.

I will complete my law degreein 2010 ( May) and I do not want to go to take the Bar in the Caribbean. Can I leave in May 2010 and get accepted to a school to sit the Bar in NY right after.

Does anyone know of the process? Can anyone tell me what to do.

I would really appreciate any information given to me.

I would call the New York Bar Association and explain to them what you are trying to do. They can give you the most accurate and correct answer. All the best,
