Can you attend law school in Louisiana and take the bar in other states?

As long as you attend an ABA approved law school, you can sit for the bar in any state.  There are some people who think you should study in the state where you take the bar so you can learn local laws, but you can always learn what you didn't in school through a bar prep program.\n\nHowever, you should consider where you want to practice when you go to school - you will be networking for your future career all through school, and you will likely be getting externships, etc in the area.  So you will be better equipped to practice locally, however it's not that difficult to get a job somewhere else, especially if you do well in school.\n\nGo to the school that is the best fit for you.  As long as it is ABA approved, you will be fine for the bar.

Visit the website for the State Bar in your state.  There should be a listing available there that will validate it for you.  \n\nIf there isn't, you can always call the State Bar offices and ask, they will check the directory tell you if they are licensed to practice in the state.  The American Bar Association is a voluntary organization and many lawyers don't pay the dues to belong.

I haven't heard anything about that particular school, it would be best to get the opinions of attorneys and judges in the area.\n\nHowever, I would not recommend that you go to a non-ABA approved school.  You will not be able to practice outside of your home state, you will make less money, and it will be much harder to get a job.  If you are going to spend 3 years in law school, you want to be able to do something with your degree once you get out.  Think carefully about what you want to do as a lawyer - make sure that a degree from that school is going to get you where you want.\n\n*edit*\nI looked up the school - it is an online school?  Let me tell you, as a law student from a reputable school in LA (Loyola Law - Johnny Cochran was an alumn), if you get your degree from there, it won't be seen with any respect.  When you go to law school, you learn to think like a lawyer, and your in class experience is what teaches you how to approach the law.  If you take courses online, it will be much harder for you to pass the bar (if you are even allowed to sit for it) and it will be basically a waste of time.  If you want to go into a legal career, and traditional law school isn't an option for you, think about becoming a paralegal - you can probably find a program near you at a university.  With an online legal degree, you aren't going to be able to get a job that pays much more than if you were a paralegal.\n\nHowever, if law school is your dream, you should work hard and apply - there is a wide range of ABA approved schools across the country that take many levels of students.  Take a look at my other answers in my profile - I have answered many questions about the law school application process.  Try to go the traditional way... you will probably be wasting time and money with an online degree.

Here are some links but Studying law is based a lot on the State you wish to practice - each State has its own laws\n\nhttp://www.hg.org/students.html\n\nhttp://getinfo.kaplan.edu/Microsite_B/paralegal.aspx\n\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_5704_study-lsat.html\n\nhttp://www.classesusa.com/featuredschools/programs/featured_legal.cap;jsessionid=5442C08E59561AC58560E7C31347FB94?nopopup

you would have to contact a local university and find out what classes from your previous law degree are still valid here and what others you would have to take.i'm guessing you might have to retake the basic classes such as government,english and history.and then of course take the bar exam to be able to practice law here.best option would be to discuss that with a local college counselor.best of luck to you.

In general (unless they've met certain foreign admission requirements) they are required to attend an ABA accredited law school (except in CA which accepts state licensed non-accredited schools).   I believe all ABA accredited law schools require an undergraduate or equivalent degree.   Almost all ABA accredited law schools are afiliated with universities.

They probably aren't answering because it is easy for you to find out on your own.  Go to some Law School web sites to find all of this information.  Check out US News & World Reports for a list of Law Schools and their rankings.\n\n1.  law school takes three years (in the US)\n\n2.  Yes, you can get in with a 3.0 gpa (though probably not to the very best schools).  I imagine you can get into a good one if your LSATs are high and you went to a decent undergraduate school.\n\n3.  Costs vary -- State schools are less expensive if you are a resident.  The top schools are probably over $30K per year.  Visit the school's web site to find out more.\n\n4.  At most schools you probably do not have to know a foreign language.

I believe California is the only state that allows persons to prepare for the Bar using alternatives to the traditional law school.  California allows for home study or correspondence courses (one of which is, I believe, on-line), and tutelage by a lawyer in a law office.  There are prescribed requirements for both.  The correspondence school must keep all papers, etc.  Both methods require the student to take and pass the California First Year Law Students Exam.  (Which is also required of students at non-ABA accredited law schools).\n\nBoth methods usually take a minimum of four years.\n\nThe Bar may have numbers of how many start the programs.  I can tell you that the number who finish and take the Bar is very very small,  maybe three or four correspondence students a year, and maybe one who went the apprentice route every five or six years.  The number who pass the Bar is nearly nil.  One correspondence student passes about every three or four years.  The rest just take the Bar over and over and over.\n\nEach state's reciprocity with any other state is based on individual laws passed by each state.  In general, however, most states will not grant reciprocity to an attorney who went to a non-ABA accredited law school (or didn't go to law school at all)

If you have a basic law degree in France, you can go for 1-year LLM.  If you have a basic degree, but not in Law, you can go for  a 3-year JD program.  If you do not have any degree, then you need to do a basic degree first, before going for JD.  Very hard to get into Harvard.  Quite good in English may not be sufficient.  You need to be very good in English to be a successful lawyer in US.\n\nAfter the academic program, you need to sit for a Bar Exam.  In the US, different states have deffierent Bar Exams because you qualify for license to practice in that state only.  You can sit for NY Bar Exam, for example.  The bar exam preparation takes another few months if you are good.  Otherwise, you take the exam again and again till you pass.

Yes, there are programs in the US.  However, it is loan reimbursement.  I know that Harvard does do this, so I know other law schools will do this as well.

Take the test in California. The same as the bar. The laws are different so you may need to take a course before you take the exam.

Yes, *lol* lots of attorney have filed backruptcy that was nothing to do with the BAR, as long as you can pass the bar exam you can, I think having filed backrupcy it might be hard to afford the schooling but thats a different story, plus I think in louisiana you dont even have to go to school to take the bar so maybe you should go there\n\nCan I take the exam if I have filed for bankruptcy?\n\nBankruptcy is in itself not a disqualifying factor, but the Character and Fitness Committee and the Board will look at the apparent reasons for the bankruptcy to determine whether there may be disqualifying financial responsibility factors.\nhttp://www.vbbe.state.va.us/faq.html#27\n\nThat is for virginia but most of the states are going to be about the same to find out your state do a google search for\nbankruptcy and the bar exam or just click this link -> http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=bankruptcy+and+the+bar+exam&spell=1\n\nEDIT ok forget that do one for -state qualification for bar exam- or click http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=state+qualification+for+bar+exam END EDIT\n\n\nThat should be all you need to know or at least all the resources\n\nBy the way I think you would make a better bankruptcy lawyer becuase you have what is called "life-experience" *lol* :D

All I know is most international students studying law in the US get an LL.M.  \n\nYour question is a little vague.... but studying the law of a completely different country might not help you too much (besides adding to your analytical reasoning skills).
