Advantages of a U.S. Law Degree Expanding Your Career Options
- Obtain Training in U.S. Law for a Globalized Economy
Because of the increasingly influential position of U.S. business in the world economy, familiarity with U.S. law has become increasingly important for lawyers whose practice includes international or transnational practice and for lawyers who hope to expand their practice into these areas. This could encompass employment with a law firm, corporation or government entity, either in your home country or in the United States.
- Earn a Well Respected Credential
The LL.M. degree from a U.S. law school is a widely sought after and respected academic credential. This is evidenced by the fact that over two thousand lawyers from other countries enroll in U.S. LL.M. programs.
- Qualify to sit for the bar examination in a U.S. jurisdiction that accepts foreign law graduates with an LL.M. degree
Fifteen states in the U.S. – most notably New York – allow foreign law graduates with some additional education at an ABA approved law school to take the Bar Examination.
