A lot of it depends on which country you study in and which state you move to. You will certainly have to pass the bar exams -- but law students from US schools have to pass those exams as well.
US law takes its basis in British Common Law -- except for Louisiana state law -- which has its roots in the Napoleonic Code. Other countries use very different legal systems.
I know people in New York who studied law in the UK and were able to take the NY Bar exam without having to go to law school in the US.
In addition, there are at least three states in the US -- Virginia, California and Maine -- where you do not have to go to law school to practice law. If you pass the bar exam in those states, you can practice law. Of course, those states have the toughest exams, for this reason. It is hard to pass without some training from law school.
