that is almost an overhaul of the requirements which were pretty simple before..

A question for foreign lawyers who are intending to take the bar exam: I have a general feeling from information I've read that the LLM seems to be a conversion course (literally) where you take most of the subjects tested on the bar rather than a degree with specialization in, say, international trade law. Is this the case? Thanks.

As far as the bar exam regulations of this year are concerned it doesnt require you to take a majority of subjects tested on NY bar in your LLM degree. But what I mean is, in practice, does one (with, say, civil law background) take mainly these subjects in order to prepare for the bar exam with only a few credits on subjects that he or she is really interested in?
