Law in the USA
Hi there. I am currently a YR12 who is looking to become a solicitor. I mainly want to go to the USA in order to get a JD so that I can eventually relocate and practice there. I understand that I have three options if I want to do this:
1. I can apply for a US Uni straight off the bat and do undergrad there and then do my JD there.
2. I can apply to a school such as UCL or KCL and attempt to get into one of the Dual LLM/J.D. programs which are offered.
3. I can do an LLM in the UK and then apply to do a Grad in the US which will be 3 years here, 3 years US and than 1 year bar, which is the longest out of any of these options if I'm honest.
4. My mom (who is a lecturer of law) says that another option I've got is to do a degree here and then take the New York Bar, but this is an option I'm not really considering tbh.
If anyone knows of any*other options that are open, have done any of these options, don't something completely different or has experience in US practice, your help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
