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.

So sorry that I can't help you about this issue I REALLY don't know, but may I suggest you to ask your prospective law school's career service and they will provide you some substantial information you may need to know!

Anyway, I believe the specialization is OK I do know a person who graduated International Tax from NYU(without J.D. degree)can still take the NY Bar(but it's a long time ago).

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?
