In order to gain admission to the Bar of most states you must be a graduate of an ABA approved law school.  There may be some equivalency considered by some states.  I do not believe you would be considered for any type of equivalency unless you had an equivalent academic program, i.e. four years of undergraduate work leading to a Baccalaureate and three years graduate study leading to a Doctorate.

Actually, you don't have to even have a degree to be a lawyer. You just have to pass the bar exam. Good luck doing that without goint to law school. To go to law school, you need a bachelors degree usually. Abraham lincoln was a lawyer, yet he didn't even graduate high school. Of course that was 150+ years ago.

You probably won't be able to practice law in the U.S. Each state has requirements before you take the state examination (bar) to practice law...most states require that you have a JD degree from an ABA-accredited or state-accredited institution. I couldn't find any such institution that exists in India. You might be able to get your initial law degree in India, then go to a US law school for a JD or a LLM so that you can practice here. \n\nHowever, you should still be able to practice law in India. From the American Association of Law Schools' website: \n\n"At present a law graduate is eligible to enroll as a fully licensed member of the Bar at the lower level by submitting an application to the State Bar Council along with relevant certificate of passing the Degree certificate by the Institution where student studied prescribed fee and by publishing in a local newspaper. The name moved by a Senior Advocate on a particular day announced but having been satisfied about the credentials, the State Bar Council registers him as a Member of the Bar.\n\nHowever, the Supreme Court of India insists upon passing of a separate examination conducted by it after having a minimum of 5 years experience at the Bar enrolment."

First, if you want to work in business then you'll need to study a bit of English. You won't be able to get away with writing like you've done here. \n\nBeyond that, the best application for a legal hound is in business adminstration law.  Will you be taking the BAR?  If so, with an MBA you can get a job in just about any company on the planet as a legal counsel.  You're MBA will serve you well.  I guess the question is, have you decided not to persue a position in law?  Are you shifting away from law into business or do you want to exercise both skills?\n\nIf it's both, then legal counsel - especially in the high tech market.

The education system in England is completely different to the U.S so no you would not graduate but you would take the British version (G.C.S.E exams and/or A Levels)

I imagine some large firms have offices in the UK, but If you are planning to apply for a visa to travel to the US, you have to deal directly with the US consulate in your area.  The consulates don't deal with lawyers, generally.  You can do an online consulatation with some lawyers in the US that have websites.

I am glad you asked! I am a librarian and I get hundreds of career questions every month.\n\nThe best place to find job requirements, salaries, and working conditions is the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook: http://www.bls.gov/oco/\n\nHere is what the 2006-2007 handbook says:\n\n"To practice law in the courts of any State or other jurisdiction, a person must be licensed, or admitted to its bar, under rules established by the jurisdiction’s highest court. All States require that applicants for admission to the bar pass a written bar examination; most States also require applicants to pass a separate written ethics examination. Lawyers who have been admitted to the bar in one State occasionally may be admitted to the bar in another without taking an examination if they meet the latter jurisdiction’s standards of good moral character and a specified period of legal experience. In most cases, however, lawyers must pass the bar examination in each State in which they plan to practice. Federal courts and agencies set their own qualifications for those practicing before or in them.\n\nTo qualify for the bar examination in most States, an applicant usually must earn a college degree and graduate from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA) or the proper State authorities. ABA accreditation signifies that the law school—particularly its library and faculty—meets certain standards developed to promote quality legal education. As of 2005, there were 191 ABA-accredited law schools; others were approved by State authorities only. With certain exceptions, graduates of schools not approved by the ABA are restricted to taking the bar examination and practicing in the State or other jurisdiction in which the school is located; most of these schools are in California. In 2005, seven States—California, Maine, New York, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming—accepted the study of law in a law office as qualification for taking the bar examination; three jurisdictions—California, the District of Columbia, and New Mexico—now accept the study of law by correspondence. Several States require registration and approval of students by the State Board of Law Examiners, either before the students enter law school or during their early years of legal study.\n\nAlthough there is no nationwide bar examination, 48 States, the District of Columbia, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands require the 6-hour Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) as part of the overall bar examination; the MBE is not required in Louisiana or Washington. The MBE covers a broad range of issues, and sometimes a locally prepared State bar examination is given in addition to it. The 3-hour Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) is used as part of the bar examination in several States. States vary in their use of MBE and MEE scores.\n\nMany States also require Multistate Performance Testing (MPT) to test the practical skills of beginning lawyers. Requirements vary by State, although the test usually is taken at the same time as the bar exam and is a one-time requirement.\n\nThe required college and law school education usually takes 7 years of full-time study after high school—4 years of undergraduate study, followed by 3 years of law school. Law school applicants must have a bachelor’s degree to qualify for admission. To meet the needs of students who can attend only part time, a number of law schools have night or part-time divisions, which usually require 4 years of study; about 1 in 10 graduates from ABA-approved schools attended part time.\n\nAlthough there is no recommended “prelaw” major, prospective lawyers should develop proficiency in writing and speaking, reading, researching, analyzing, and thinking logically—skills needed to succeed both in law school and in the profession. Regardless of major, a multidisciplinary background is recommended. Courses in English, foreig

His best bet is to work in the UK for a few years in a specialized field for a large company and get a transfer with the same company to the US on a L1 visa.  I did it this way.  You can then live and work in the US for at least 5 years. \n \nHowever, I was also engaged to a US citizen at the time and have since got married and a green card.

In America, law school is a graduate school so you'll have to complete an undergraduate degree before you can go to law school. You might want to do that in your country because it will be cheaper. \n\nWhile youre completing your undergraduate degree you can study any subject you want (law schools accept virtually all majors), although many future law students major in political science and English. It's important to have very good English skills because much of law school is reading and writing. They do like well rounded people, so have take some science or math also. \n\nIn America, an undergraduate degree will take you about four years. It's possible to do it in three if you take a lot of summer classes. It takes a lot of people more than four because they switch majors. \n\nAll that determines if you get into law school is your GPA and your LSAT score. They look at other aspects, but they primarily care about only those two. Get very good grades, keep at least a 3.5 gpa. And study and drill for the LSAT, it's a standardized test that you can practice for. \n\nI suggest you read One L by Scott Turow. It's a novel from the 70s but it will give you some idea what law school is like.\n\nCareful though, the law market is very saturated in America. There are more lawyers than there are jobs. If you're just looking to make money, consider going into engineering (there are always engineering jobs and often very well paid). Business is another good opition. You have the oportunity to make more money than engineering or law, although you'll have less security.

And it is depend on where are you from because when you move to another country, you will not be able to use your law degree to get a laywer job there.\nUnless you are trying to open a consultant firm to give advice for foreigner to do business in your country. If that is the case, all you need to do is save some money, and open a business there, apply for a working visa and permanent resident. After a few years, you could apply for a citizenship.

Sure you can obtain jobs in the United States, not only as a web designer. Not much criteria needed as long as you have the tools or background that will qualify you to be on board. \n\nAll you need is look for companies that are willing to sponsor you're working permit, i.e., H1-B visa. Usually private companies sponsor international applicants. Companies like Nokia, Sprint-Nextel, Intel, IBM, LCC, etc. are examples of companies that would be able to provide sponsorship. \n\nHowever, there are companies that doesn't provide sponsorships. These companies (private companies) whose nature of business is having contracts with the U.S. federal government, mostly in the Washington, DC area. Generally, they require U.S. citizenship and security clearance to apply. Companies that perform government contracting or consulting are Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, Boeing, Booz Allen Hamilton, etc.\n\nIf you're still interested in learning the requirements or papers that you might want to consider the following websites:\n\nDepartment of Homeland Security: http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/\n\nDepartment of State:\nhttp://www.state.gov/\n\nDepartment of Labor:\nhttp://www.dol.gov/\n\nMore information on obtaining a working visa:\nhttp://usimmigration.visapro.com/work-vi...\n\nGood Luck.

Yes they are. You may need to study a little more whilst you are in the US I am not 100% but id say that your degree here should be recognised world wide. Things like law are not. DRs IT geeks (such as myself) and construction workers have no problem so Id say your in the same boat :)

In the United States, no, you can't study law directly out of high school unless you are studying criminal justice or pre law. However, it is not a requirement to study pre law on the undergraduate (Bachelor's degree level). I have included some individual links to various law schools to get a better idea of what is needed. You could study English, philosophy, history, business, or many other college majors.
