The LL.M. program is not intended to prepare foreign lawyers to practice in the United States. The LL.M. degree does not itself constitute a credential qualifying foreign lawyers to practice law in the United States. Each of the 50 states regulates the admissions of attorneys to the practice of law within its jurisdiction. The requirements for bar admission vary from state to state.
Foreign attorneys should communicate directly with the Board of Law Examiners of the state where they are interested in practicing. A directory of state bar admissions offices can be found on the National Conference of Bar Examiners website along with “The Comprehensive Guide to Bar Admissions”.
