Hi all,

Is anyone aware of an online/distance LLM that enables graduates to sit for the NY bar exam? I know Berkeley has one that gives access to the CA bar exam, but not the NY one.

Thanks

An LLM in and of itself does not qualify one to sit the New York bar. They'll look primarily at your first law degree to see how it stacks up against ABA-accredited JD programs, and they'll tell you if you need additional study.

However, if they do ask you to pursue additional study, I'm pretty sure online programs will not cut the mustard.
