Hi. Ive two questions regarding to LLM.
Im thinking about doing my LLB in the UK, and the do the LLM in the US. When i do the LLM in the US will i eligible to sit and do the BAR test in every state?

2,
if i do my LLM in the States, will my LLM accepted in the UK, too?

(Whats the case with Canada? If i do my LLB and my LLM in the UK can i practice there as a lawyer?)
Thanks, a high school student, from Slovakia.

First question: NO. Not all states accept LLM graduate without a US JD to sit for their bar exam. Few states may allow you to do it (New York and California for instance).

Second question: YES a LLM from an accredited ABA Law School will be recognize in the UK and in Canada. It does not give you a right to practice law but it is an added value as a lawyer. Matter of fact, LLM is a requirement in Canadian Law School to be a Law Professor (better if you have a LLD). If you complete your LLB and LLM in the UK and you pass the bar (there is several exams to pass) and complete a pupillage, then you should be admitted to practice. It is my understanding that in UK in order to be admitted as Barrister you should complete the following steps: Step 1 Qualifying Law Degree; Step 2 Admission to Inn of Court; Step 3 Bar Vocational Course; Step 4 Six Month Pupillage; Step 5 Provisional Practising Certificate;
Step 6 Six Month Pupillage;Step 7 Obtain a Practising Certificate as a Barrister. Best of luck to you.

Thanks.
I thought if i do my llm in the States (after doing my llb in the uk)
ill be more accepted within the states, because as i know i can also pass the bar exam in CA, and NY with an LLM from a foreign English-law based country.
So theres no difference where i do my llm?
Has it any advantages if a do it in the States compared to an UK Masters degree?

(Im also considering J.D, because if i really want to work in the US, ill be more accepted with that, although LLM is a higher degree..
Do you have any experience with this? Can i get a job (of course i can, formally), do i have a chance to get a job with an LLM,, not with a J.D.
Compared to theUK law education, the us law education system is very "strange" (and not in the good meaning), you cant even start to stud law, without an undergraduate degree.
But I know one thing clealy. I want to practice in the States, thats why i ask about getting a job, with an UK LLM...

Yes where you will obtain your LLM will matter (the better the school - better are you change to land a job in the US). The chance of getting a job with an LLM are slimmer than with a JD. Employers are looking for JD graduates. If I were you, I do my JD in the US and work there. With respect to the education to be strange in the US, it is not strange per se but different. JD is a graduate degree and it required an undergrad degree. Do you undergrad in any subject but you must have good grades (GPA is pivotal here). Why not study law or jurisprudence in your country or the UK and they come to the US for a JD. It will make alot of sense. If you cannot afford studying for the JD (3 years), then do for a LLM at an IVY LEAGUE university in the US. You cannot go wrong. With respect to work, you will never know where you will end. Believe in yourself and work hard in what you do. Usually, the best and brightest student always find jobs. Goodluck.
