Hi,
I\'m a law student in Dominican Republic. I want to practice law in the USA, will it be best for me to drop out from the college I\'m in right now in my country and go to an american college in order to get a bachelor\'s degree and then enter a law university or will it be best to stay in my country, finish my law degree and then apply for a J.D/LLM degree? (i\'m a freshman)
what\'s keeping in my country is mostly the length of the career here..it\'s shorter than in the USA only 4 years..and i feel like if i leave now I\'ve lost an entire year which will sum 7 years in total of studies..
also i would like to know if i were to enroll in an American college will the credits if taken here be recognized in the college I enroll in?
Thanks in advance, I really need the advice
Study abroad and practice in the USA..OR study and practice law in USA?
