I have been denied eligibility by NY Bar Exam Board to sit in NY Bar exam unless I complete additional 20-hours credit programme in ABA approved law school. I have 3-years law degree from Indian University and NY Bar Exam Board office says that while I do meet the durational requirement, Law degree from India does not qualify for substantiveness. Can u please guide me on this with your experience and how to overcome their objection that the Indian law degree does meet their requirement to sit in Bar exam. I intend to take NY Bar in July 2008 subject to getting eligibility confirmation. I need your inputs on this.

Thanks

I have studied law almost for 5 years in the republic of georgia where I sat bar exam as well and qualified which is of course not common law jurisdiction. After that I did my LLM in London full-time. Now I am doing my GDL or CPE in another words part-time (2 years). I am interested to qualify in NY or California and would like to know whether I will be eligible to sit either NY or California bar exam upon completion of my GDL? And if not what do I have to do in order to be eligible? Will taking another 2 modules and obtaining LLB help? Do I have to do LPC? I do also have work experience in a law firm in the UK. Can anybody advise.

Hi, i have a question. I have done the LLB in the UK i have also compleyted the LPC in the UK. Does this make me eligible to sit for the bar exam in California.

Hi Nataliek

did u find the answer to your question? Is GDL + extra module for LLB enough to sit the NY or Cali Bar Exam?

thanks

As an FYI, the bar exams in New York and California are well-known in the US as being the most difficult bar exams in the States. Those two states have a lot of job opportunities as well, but there are many more states with significant career opportunities that may have less stringent requirements. Good luck!
