Qualify as an attorney in the United States
Interested in expanding your career options globally? You may be eligible to sit the California Bar Exam or New York Bar Exam and become a US attorney in California or New York.

The United States is the world's largest legal market, and admission in this jurisdiction can help to significantly broaden your career opportunities, both with US firms and with global firms generally.
