I'm not sure that you can. Law is a particularly specialized field that varies from state to state in the US. The Spanish based legal system is different then that of the British based systems. Practice in the US requires the passing of the specific state bar exam. Requirements vary, but most require graduation from an accredited law school. You could contact the specific state bar exams and see if they recognize your university, but I am doubtful.

In the US, you can be a lawyer even if you do not attend law school. All you have to do is pass the bar exam. In this country you must pass the exam in the state where you intend to practice law.
Some corporate working attorneys just attend law school and never pass the bar. You might have a chance as a corporate attorney working for a US firm that deals a great deal with Mexico.
