U.S. Bar Exam Information
The Online LL.M. in American Legal Studies is designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the U.S. legal system and is not intended as a U.S. bar examination preparation course. A small number of U.S. jurisdictions allow foreign-trained attorneys with online course credits to sit for the bar exam. We encourage students who are interested in taking a U.S. bar exam to review the Comprehensive Guide to Bar Admission Requirements, which lists bar eligibility requirements for the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The guide is published by the National Conference of Bar Examiners.
