My Boyfriend is from Buenos Aires, Argentina. He has his law degree from the University of Buenos Aires and is thinking of coming to the US to see if he can work for a couple of years. He has an "Abogados" degree which is an Attorney-At-Law and is currently working for a firm. I believe that it's considered at least a LLB in the US. My question is, I live in New Jersey and he will be living with me so he needs to work in New Jersey or NYC...the train is close to me. I'm having a really hard time finding any information on what's required for him to work here...
Can anyone give us any advice??? thanks so much!

Because a foreign law degree is generally a bachelors degree, he will have to attend at least 2 years of law school in the U.S. They will count his degree as one year of electives because attorneys here have a bachelors degree plus 3 years of law school. Then, he will have to pass the state bar exam. Attending law school will also enable him to get a student visa so that he can enter the U.S. legally. He should contact your local law school for information.

The identical purpose all presidents get honorary levels. RACE CARD: fail. In 2001 Yale University offered an honorary measure to George W. Bush. He used to be slightly one 12 months into his presidency. The sum of Bush's educational accomplishment from Yale used to be a measure in historical past in 1968. George W. Bush brought the graduation speech at Notre Dame in 2001, after receiving his honorary measure. Ronald Reagan additionally obtained an honorary measure and spoke at graduation in 1981. This although he used to be divorced, he traded hands for hostages, he waged an unlawful warfare in Central America funded by way of promoting hands to terrorists in Iran, he endorsed capital punishment as governor of California, and he wasn't even Catholic

He'll need a visa to work in the US, and also to pass a state bar exam to work as a lawyer. Regardless of if it's as a lawyer he'll need to get the right to work in the US, which is hard if he's not married to you.

he'll have to get in touch with the state to see what their requirements for joining the bar association are.
it's possible that he might need another year for an LLM degree--a year of classes for foreign lawyers to learn in the U.S..

All he would need is to get a license to practice law in the state that you are moving to.
