LLM & Bar Exam
Hi, everyone! Fri Nov 09, 2007 10:29 PM I have a question: my attny told me, that, unlikely to JD program, LLM is not preparing for the Bar Exam, especially in NYS. If there is any way to take Bar Exam in NYS after LLM? I had heard that it is so difficult in NYS that you cannot get prepared by yourself. Thank you so much in advance. |

LLM & Bar Exam
As far as I know, US LL.M degree fulfils requirements for sitting in NYS Bar exam because to be eligible one will need 24 credits hours of study in an ABA approved law school. Of course the exam is quite difficult and the LL.M degree in itself is not sufficient;

While the information on Cardozo's website may guide you, the Yeshiva Law School does not promulgate the official rules of the New York State Board of Law Examination.Fri Nov 16, 2007 01:52 AM The official rules are here: www.nybarexam.org/foreign.htm They even have a procedure whereby you may submit an form to request Advance Evaluation of Eligibility: www.nybarexam.org/eval_form.pdf Keep in mind that merely gettting an LLM in the USA does not *automatically* qualify you to sit for the NY Bar exam. |
