Bar Exams

The ILSP LLM is not designed to prepare students for a US bar exam; however, after graduating from the program, many of our students sit for the NY bar exam.  We urge students interested in taking a US bar exam to look at the “Comprehensive Guide to Bar Admission Requirements,” which lists the bar eligibility requirements of the 50 states plus Washington DC.  The publication is available on the National Conference of Bar Examiners website (2007 Comprehensive Guide). 

Information about the NY bar is available at www.nybarexam.org.  Foreign students should pay particular attention to Rule 520.6 of the Court of Appeals for the Admission of Attorneys and Counselors at Law.
