Hi there,
I feel like my situation hasn't been discussed in the posts I've seen, so I'm looking for some guidance.
I am a dual US-French citizen, have a JD from an American law school, and am barred in New York state. I am pretty fluent in French but not as much in French legal terms. I am interested in getting an LLM in international law or EU law at an EU law school, either to practice in the EU (particularly France) or to help me do international law in the US. It seems like for France, I would need to either do the 5 years of study or be able to pass the 'bar' exam -- LLMs in France don't seem to actually help you work. As an EU citizen, however, will I have an easier time of practicing somewhere in the EU if I get an LLM from a European university? Thank you!
EU citizen barred in the US -- will an LLM from an EU school help me practice law somewhere in the EU?
