NY Bar的资格要求
Some students may sit the exam as of right
The Rules of the Court permit a person with an undergraduate law degree from most common law countries to take the bar examination in New York, depending on the length and nature of their legal education. Under the same section of the rules, students whose first law degree is from other countries and who have earned graduate law credits while studying law in the United States may qualify to take the bar examination. The precise language can be found in section 520.6 of the Court's Rules. This link will display all of the Court’s rules on bar admission
Many students may therefore sit for the New York bar examinations as of right. Students interested in their eligibility to sit for the New York bar examination on the basis of their first law degree are advised to contact the New York State Board of Bar Examiners. The Board does not publish a country specific list; however the following first law degrees from common law jurisdictions may be accepted: Australia, Canada (common law degrees only), Ghana, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Kenya, Liberia, New Zealand, Nigeria, the Philippines, Sierra Leone, Singapore, South Africa (after 1998), Tanzania, Uganda, and the United Kingdom.
