Hi people!
I am interested in applying for llm programs in Illinois. However, I can't find any website which includes which llm is approved by American Bar Assosiation and gives me the chance to take bar exam in Illinois. Any suggestions? I would be grateful :)
llm approved by ABA

I just posted the following in the LL.M. Roadmap Blog --
http://www.llm-guide.com/about/LLMRoadMap. Information below may help you answer your question about the Illinois Bar.
Here is that posting from the LLMRoadMap blog:
At the following link you will find a Comprehensive Guide to Bar Admission Requirements 2011. http://www.ncbex.org/assets/media_files/Comp-Guide/2011CompGuide.pdf. Each year, such a guide is published by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBEX) and the American Bar Association (ABA) Section of Legal Education and Admission to the Bar.
Chart 4 of the Bar Admission Guide is titled Eligibility to Take the Bar Examination: Foreign Law School Graduates (pages 14-15). The first question asked in Chart 4 is Are graduates of foreign law schools eligible for admission? in a particular U.S. state or jurisdiction. Over 2 dozen bar examiner offices from U.S. states and territories indicated yes. The list is subject to change, as states and territories may decide to begin permitting foreign law graduates to sit for the bar, or they may decide to stop permitting foreign law school graduates to sit. Following Chart 4 are Supplemental Remarks regarding requirements for foreign law school graduates (pages 15 19)
The preface of the Bar Admission Guide cautions:
Because bar admission rules and practices are subject to change, however, this publication should be used only as a general guide. Specific, up-to-date answers to questions concerning bar admissions should be obtained from the bar admission agency in the jurisdiction involved. A directory of bar admission agencies begins on page 45.
Additional information about Bar Admission in the U.S. can be found in my new book, LL.M. Roadmap: An International Students Guide to U.S. Law Schools (Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, 2011, 624 pages) (www.LLMRoadMap.com). Chapter 28 of LL.M. Roadmap is titled Bar Exams and Practicing Law in the U.S. Post-LL.M.
LL.M. Roadmap also contains information about how international LL.M. students can further their career objectives (Chapter 26), getting a job in the U.S. post-LL.M. (Chapter 27). The LL.M. Roadmap website is being revamped, and some of the information from the book will be posted online.
