The Reality As It Pertains To » Employment Law Firms New York Coupled With Other Research
How hard is it for a UK law graduate to gain employment in New York or Canada?
Hi,
I'm currently studying for an LLB at a top 10 UK university, it's a very respected University and would put me in very good stead for securing employment at a top London firm (Magic Circle etc..)
However, my parents are contemplating moving to Canada in a couple of years. If this was to happen, I would rather take the New York bar exam (which you can prepare for in London - centlaw.com) and qualify to practice in NY - as I would obviously be a lot closer to my family. Firstly, how easy/hard would it be for a UK law graduate to secure employment with a decent New York firm?
Secondly, I cannot find any information on how you can qualify to practice in Canada with a UK law degree (I only know about California/New York procedures).. so is this possible? If so, how much extra studying would I have to do? What is the legal work like in Canada, how does it compare with New York or London?
Thanks a LOT if you are able to answer any of the above questions 
The link below would be a good place to start. The system of law in Canada is MUCH closer in style to the system of law that you have in the UK than is the American system. Hope you get all the information you need to make a decision.
