Hi Chandsai

1. I do not know the answer to this question.

2. Yes. If you are qualified as an attorney in your country you should be eligible to sit the CA Bar exam. I do not remember if they require a minimum / professional experience. I would recommend that you check this with the California Bar itself.

3. Yes but England is now making things more difficult for applicants from outside the European Union. The name of the transfer test is the QLTT and you can contact the Solicitors Regulation Authority for more information.

Please note that a UK LLM does not help to take the bar exam in England but a US LLM can open the doors of certain US Bar exams like NY. No need of a LLM though for California.

I hope that helps.
