Distance Education Law Schools / Re: PETITIONING THE SUPREME COURT IN MICHIGAN TO TAKE BAR EXAM..IS IT HARD TO DO?« on: January 12, 2012, 01:04:45 AM »
The 26 credits are law school credits in subjects that the bar exam tests. The 26 credits are after getting the non-bar JD. By the time you enter law school, your BA should already be in hand.

You are right about that. It looks like our friend may have to do some volunteer legal work under an attorney's supervision and get published before approaching another state about taking its bar exam, then.

Write the Concord graduate who petitioned Massachusetts to take its bar exam. Ask him how he went about petitioning that state's bar exam. I posted the court opinion on this forum around October of last year. Even though it is a different state, the procedure may be similar.

It's called the National Conference of Bar Examiners. Their website is www.ncbex.org.
Click on the Publications tab. The book that has the chart is available for download. The title of the book is The Comprehensive Guide to Bar Admission Requirements. 57

The National Board of Examiners (I think that is the name of the organization.), has a chart that shows which state will allow a student to sit for its bar exam. I think that New York will allow you to sit for its bar exam. But don't quote me. Check with the National Board of Examiners.

All the initiator of this thread has to do is contact the ABA for a list of LLM programs for foreigners that they endorse. If they don't have a list, I am sure they know who does.

Most LLM programs are designed for foreigners who already have law degrees in their country. The LLM simply introduces these attorneys to American law, and prepares them for the bar exam. The LLM programs for Americans normally do not accept Americans who don't have a JD. And, they are true masters degrees in the sense that they focus on a narrow area of law. They do not teach what the bar exam tests.
I don't know if it has been tried. But, an American could get a British LLB and then enroll in an LLM program for students with foreign law degrees. Then he/she would be able to sit for the bar exam. I haven't sought out any of this because I simply don't have the money. I am going to stick with my paralegal certificate (I have 3 other degrees from accredited universities.), author one or two case digests, and start looking for a job after I pass the CLA exam. I plan to take it in May; if I get the $ 250.00 together in time. The University of Leiden is still up in the air. My proposal was on American law. I may be able to submit a second one on Dutch law. The challenge, I read online, is that Dutch court opinions are written in Dutch. 60

I also appreciate your vast knowledge of what is out there, Jonlevy. I am getting my transcripts together for the University of Leiden's LLD program. I will finally get some kind of academic support for the hornbook/case digest that I want to write.
