I'm LLB (Bachelor in law) from India. I have been practicing law fro more than 3 years after passin Bar council exam in india. I want to study and practice law in US. What is the eligibility for sitting in Bar exam? Do I need to do LLM from some US law university? What are the requirements of Maryland state bar? How many credits do I need to study for LLM to sit for Maryland or DC or NY Bar exam? I have heard that its different from state to state. What are the job prospects for foreign lawyer after doing LLM in US? How much time does it take to finish study before becoming atorney in US if you start with LLM and already LLB from India? I would highly appreciate answers to my questions. Thanks..

Eligibility for sitting the bar varies state to state.
You do not need to do LLM in US to be eligible to sit bar exam.
Requirements for MD, NY and DC can be attained from the law practicing legislation in each respective state from the law society.
Job prospects are very similar regardless of country of origin or nationality. defining characteristics are talent, finance and friends in high places, such as judges and politicians.
It would be several years study to upgrade qualification from LLB to LLM.

Minimally you like the to bypass the bar examination interior the state which you prefer to coach. i do no longer think of that each and each remote places regulation degree qualifies for taking the bar the two. i might attitude the ny Bar for greater recommendation on standards
