Is it possible for a lawyer form other country to practice law in the US?

Yes, however they must first be able to sit for and pass a US state bar exam before they are allowed to practice in any state.  Most times a foreign lawyer goes to a US law school and gets a LLM degree first.

There are two different cases: if your degree is from a major law school in a common-law jurisdiction like Canada, the UK, etc. then it will be accepted by a number of US states. If it is from a civil-law jurisdiction (and in some states, from a common-law one) then it may be "validated" in a number of US states if you get an LLM from an accredited US law school.\n\nIn California, no law school training is needed to take the Bar examination.\n\nIf you are admitted to the Bar of a foreign country, most states will authorize you to work as a "foreign legal consultant". \n\nFor more info on state-by-state bar admission requirements see this site: http://www.abanet.org/legaled/baradmissions/basicoverview.html

Ask a lawyer about what you can do.

if your question is concerning establishing a "trust" in the US the answer is yes.  There are a number of types of trust all of which should be established with the assistance of an experienced attorney.

Yes, you can specialize in international law.  Different law schools offer different specializations.  If you get your JD in Ohio, you can take the bar in any state in the country -- if you pass, you're licensed to practice in that state.\n\nIN RESPONSE TO YOUR E-MAIL:  Law schools offering specializations in international law include, but are not limited to, University of Wisconsin, Cornell, Iowa, Syracus, Harvard, etc.

Sure, why not.  Since you'll be working with lawyers, be careful to avoid anything that might be seen as a conflict of interest (e.g., doing extra work for a client of the firm and getting paid under the table for it -- that's a definite no-no).  L.A. is kind of expensive so you'll need all the income you can get.  Good luck.

Eligibility for sitting the bar varies state to state.\nYou do not need to do LLM in US to be eligible to sit bar exam.\nRequirements for MD, NY and DC can be attained from the law practicing legislation in each respective state from the law society.\nJob prospects are very similar regardless of country of origin or nationality. defining characteristics are talent, finance and friends in high places, such as judges and politicians.\nIt would be several years study to upgrade qualification from LLB to LLM.

The direct answer to you question is that an attorney can not practice law in a state that he or she is not licensed.  The way they get around that is to refer you to another attorney that is practicing in your state.  \n\nNormally, however, you do not have to consult an attorney to apply for a debt consolidation loan.  Usually the attorney will counsel you about filing for bankruptcy.  If you need help with pay day loans you can ask for help from the attorney general of your state.  Look in government listings of your phone book. \n\nIf you are looking for a debt consolidation loan or advice on debt consolidation, I have included some resources.

All I know is most international students studying law in the US get an LL.M.  \n\nYour question is a little vague.... but studying the law of a completely different country might not help you too much (besides adding to your analytical reasoning skills).

There's a bit of arbitrary here. In the US, any lawyer who is a member of his/her state Bar Association is a genuine lawyer. And the same is true in other countries as well, though with different terminology. \n\nBut what you're really asking is whether you can find a lawyer who wil actually work on your behalf rather than merely doing a perfunctory jub and then billing. Perhaps so, but you'd be more interested I think, in whether the lawyer was good, regardless of his/her attitude to ward you personally. And there's little way to tell that, unless you can foretell teh future. perhaps comments (idelaly anonaymous) of other lawyers in his/her town. and hope that all their opinions are honest as well as infomred. \n\nBut, since your problem is acute, you may not have enought time to do that. you might want to chekc local media for prior news (local lawyer sentenced for incompetence will be a giveaway, of course) and Google his or her name as well. You might turn up out of state problems.\n\nAnd interview before hiring. See whether you and a prospective lawyer get along personally. The hale fellow, well met cartoon sort of lawyer might not be suited to a shy and retiring slip of a girl client. \n\nGood luck with your problem.

Sure can.  I would recommend working through an international law firm or similar type of service provider to do it, as you must comply with various formalities, there are tax consequences, etc.  The precise costs of setting it up and the requirements (such as minimum capital, etc.) will depend on the country you are considering and the type of entity you set up; for example you could set up a partnership (i.e., pass-through) entity, regular (i.e., US C-Corp-type) company, etc.  The best choice for you will probably depend on what  is you want to do in that country.

Step 1 is to go to law school.  The ABA will not certify anyone to practice law in the USA without having first received a degree from an ABA approved law school.  Look online and see which schools offer specialized classes in immigration law.  If you are smart and really passionate about it apply for some scholarships too.  Good luck!  :-)

You can "read for the bar".\n\nIf by "becoming a lawyer" you mean, "licensed to practice law in a U.S. State", then you should know that some states (California, maybe CO, VA too) do not require you to attend law school, although they do require you to pass the Bar Exam--the same exam given to students who have graduated law school.\n\nYou can just read up on the law on your own, and when you think you're ready, just take the exam.  If you pass--you can practice law in that state just like anybody who went to law school.\n\nThe buzzword here is "read for the bar" if you want to search for more.

And it is depend on where are you from because when you move to another country, you will not be able to use your law degree to get a laywer job there.\nUnless you are trying to open a consultant firm to give advice for foreigner to do business in your country. If that is the case, all you need to do is save some money, and open a business there, apply for a working visa and permanent resident. After a few years, you could apply for a citizenship.

Yes.\nYou need to apply in the US.
