An LLB degree (or of Bachelor of Laws) is roughly the equivalent of a Juris Doctor (J.D) degree here in the US. I believe only the US uses this term.
In the United States, the right to practice law is governed by state law. I have a JD and I am admitted to practice law in California, but no other state. In most states, an LLB should be sufficient to meet the educational requirements to practice law. However, you should contact the state bar of the state where you are considering practicing to get more detailed information.

Chslaw is correct.. but I should note: in most states, you also have to have a LLB from a country that uses the common law tradition... this means, usually, countries which were part of or are part of the British Commonwealth..e.g. Canada, England, Australia, etc. As mentioned. contact the state bar association of your state to determine eligibility for the bar exam.
