ARE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR THE BAR?

Many of our international students are interested in enrolling in our LLM program to become eligible to take the Claifornia or New York Bar Exam. Bar Eligibility depends on whether a student is already licensed a practice in her/his own country and changes from California and New York. Students should design the curriculum of their LLM at Loyola to meet the specific requirements of the Bar Exam they are interested in taking.

Bar Exam Application Process and Foreign Legal Education Requirements

In the United States, each state has different rules regarding Bar exam eligibility for foreign-educated students and application deadlines. We encourage students to carefully review the rules of the state where you intend to sit for the Bar exam.

If you would like to find out more about Bar Eligibility, whether you should take the Bar Exam, which bar exam should you take and much more, schedule a Skype call with our Faculty Director, Professor Aaron Ghirardelli. Professor Ghirardelli is an LLM graduate himself and he is licensed in California, New York, and Italy.
