Q: I'm a recent foreign law graduate looking to study LLM in US. What is eligibility criteria of Bar Exam in Illinois?
I'm a graduate from Uni of London and have applied in LLM Global Business and Financial Law Program in Chicago Kent College of Law. Would I be eligible to take the bar exam in Illinois after LLM?
A: An Illinois attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. But most attorneys don't deal too much with such issues once they're done with school. A starting point could be to look at the resources of your state's bar examiner offices. There are programs out there nationwide where foreign law graduates are eligible to sit for state bar exams - sometimes after taking U.S. LLM programs, but requirements can vary by state. Good luck
