question to all UK law graduates working abroad?
Hi there Im hopefully going on to study law at university Ive sent off my UCAS this year and expect to start hearing replies from universities soon however my question is to those doing law. I think law sounds like a really interesting course at uni however I am not too keen on becoming a solicitor or barrister in the UK I want to know what employment possibilities their are outside the uk maybe in america or the middle east or something, things like financial jobs or property law etc. Will I need to take extra study abroad? Will it be just as easy as applying to get a training contract with a uk based firm?
I'm not sure why the first poster thinks the potential is great in the US because we have too many attorneys in the US.
Each state in the US has different criteria for foreign-educated attorneys so you will have to determine where in the US - which state - you want to practice in. Once you do, you can find the admission requirements either with the state bar association or the state's board of law examiners (BOLE).
You may need to study extra in various states (possibly get a LLM in the state before you are eligible to take the bar exam) so it really depends again, on the state you want to work in.
There are a lot of law firms which have offices in the UK. If you are lucky and get a job at the UK firm, you can probably transfer to an office in the states.
