My LLM would be from London and I'm curious as to what states I could sit for back in the US. Any insight is greatly appreciated! Thx!

Thu, 08 Sep 2005 00:02:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/7634/last#7639 Yes, sit for the board is what I mean. Any thoughts on whether I would be able to in any of the States? Thanks!

An LLM from the UK will normally not suffice to take the bar in the US. You should go through the New York bar rules - see http://www.llm-guide.com/board/120 - to find out about whether you fulfill the requirements. New York and California are said to one the states with the most "liberal" rules regarding bar access.
