ny bar requirements


I am interested in taking the NY bar exam, I have a U.K. LLB, 2:1, but have taken the LPC. I am in the middle of filling my eligibility form, and im not quite sure what to say for question 5: whether I have completed the educational requirements for admission to practice law in the foreign country? Im not sure if the LLB is enough, or I need the LPC....anyone with similar experience?

your llb should be enough i have an llb an i did the bar last year and it was ok on its own. may depend on the uni you went too generally most unis in uk will be ok but you may want to phone the nysble to check

thanks. Did you have to fill in the form though and send your original degree and stuff, or can you take the exam without all that? also, do you think its doable without taking the required courses

I generally thought that if you hold a 3 year LLb this will enable you eligible to sit the bar? Irish did you qualify in the UK first before taking the bar or straight from uni?
