ARE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR THE BAR?

Mulți dintre studenții noștri internaționali sunt interesați să se înscrie în programul nostru LLM pentru a deveni eligibili pentru a susține examenul Claifornia sau New York Bar. Eligibilitatea barului depinde de faptul dacă un student are deja licență pentru o practică în propria sa țară și se schimbă din California și New York. Studenții ar trebui să elaboreze curriculum-ul LLM la Loyola pentru a îndeplini cerințele specifice ale examenului de barou pe care sunt interesați să îl susțină.
