Hi I am presently studying law UK. I applied to the two year LLB accelerated program, as I already have a masters degree. I am from the Caribbean, so getting a common law degree from the UK is needed for me to pracice at home. Before I return I want experience in practicing in the U.S. September of this year will be my last year in the LLB before doing the bar. Do you know if NY would allow me to sit for bar exam with 2yr LLB or will I have to do an LLM. If so do you know if I get a LLM from NY if I will be allowed to just sit the bar exam in UK, without having to do the bar vocational course. Reason for asking is because I want to know if it is best I just move to NY after LLB and do LLM and just sit for NY and UK , or you recommend me sit bar and then move, which means if I have to do LLM my three years will be four, hate having to be in school longer than I need. What are your thoughts
Help please
