You are not required to complete an LL.M to practice Law in the USA, or UK. In the US if you have a J.D. from an ABA accredited Law School you may be able to take the Bar entrance in the state you wish to practice in. Note that the ABA only accredits J.D. degrees and only in the USA. The ABA recommends contact with the Bar in the state you wish to practice to find out more about the individual Bar requirements. (http://www.abanet.org/legaled/postjdprograms/postjdc.html#2foreign). The American Bar Association website has more information on the entrance requirements including their views on Internet based distance learning. http://www.abanet.org/legaled/distanceeducation/distance.html or for general information about post-JD qualifications please visit http://www.abanet.org/legaled/postjdprograms/postjd.html In Scotland you can visit the following link to find out more about becoming a Scottish Solicitor: http://www.lawscot.org.uk/educ_train/NEW_howtobecome.html England and Wales have their information held here: http://www.lawsociety.org.uk/becomingasolicitor.law. Hope this is of use.
