Hi Janella, thank you for sharing! That was very instructive and I enjoyed the beautiful background scenery!
Thanks for your support Dave! 🙏 I’m always glad to see you in here. Hope you don’t get tired of watching my videos! Haha🤗
Hi Janella, you're welcome! You do such a nice job on your videos and they're a pleasure to watch!
just recently came across to your page.😊 I am a Registered Nurse working here in the US. I had a law degree in the Philippines, took the PH bar a couple of times but unfortunately, “F”. Planning to pursue my dream job as a lawyer here in the US. imma say being a nurse here in the US is not for me lol😂 while watching you videos, it gave me hope :) imma start my foreign credentials evaluation :)
Thank you sir! Good luck po. Kayang kaya niyo yan! tiwala lang!
@@atty.janellaloaiza8754 thanks din po., hope ma vlog nyo din po yung regarding sa texas/DC with foreign law degree :) *bar application/petition w/ additional classes. have a nice day :-)
Hi Pañera, I have plans in taking the CalBar next year. Which do you think is best the Feb BE or July BE? Although I have a general idea for the requirements, do you have other pointers?
Hello, thanks for your useful advices! I’m an Iranian lawyer but I don’t prefer to take bar exam here, I want to come to USA and continue my practice over there, so as you said my Bachelor degree and not having bar licence is enough for applying LLM and then taking the nar exam, isn’t it?
Hi Atty., Janella. So inspiring po. Thanks for your videos. Atty., any link for JD scholarships abroad po? Thank you!
Wonderful content
Thank you!
for most of those foreign Lawyers especially those experienced ones who have the dream to become a U.S. licensed Attorney, prepare yourself for a rough awakening. First you need to pass a TOEFL English Exam, you need to pass an LSAT, you need to take an LL.M at this point you will begin to learn and experience how your status as a lawyer will be diminished and despised; They will make your life miserable, it is a very treacherous road to pass even to get to sit for the bar, where you will be no more than a regular barely inexperienced just graduated student as the rest of the other 500 applicants but with the set back of having a foreign degree. Some States such as New York and Washington seem to be the only option for the bar as they seem to be "lighter" in grading. But there are others, Arizona, Texas etc. where your possibility will be reduced significantly, it is very expensive so you need to have some good savings in your pocket and no guarantee to pass it nor refund to reclaim. Now even if you were to pass the exam, prepare yourself too for a long road of applications, prejudice and discriminative interactions you will have so by the time if you are lucky enough to land a job if you ever can you will grow grey hair. ... Good Luck.
Hi atty, may I please know what visa you can get to prepare for and take the bar exam after you’ve completed your LLM? I know that with the F-1 visa you have 60 days after graduation to find a job
Can you do one for California bar exam?
Hi Atty. Janella, thank you very much for the video. It is very informative. I have obtained an LLB degree from the Philippines. I do have questions and I hope you can respond to them. 1. For the evaluation of the eligibility, do you recommend that the letter from the law school also reflect that I have obtained an undergraduate degree (e.g. AB Political Science)? If yes, is it required to also send a certificate from CHED or from my undergraduate university? OR 3. A letter from my law school certifying that I have completed the program with X number of hours or credits and the certified copy of the TOR will suffice? Again, thank you very much, and I look forward to hearing from you.
What if the law school I graduated is not accredited?
So ia it true that Philippine bar exam is harder than any bar exam in the US considering your exam there in US is multiple choice?
Hello atty,,, I hope you can help me. I am a green card holder here in the USA seens 2019. I am single that time. I went home 2022 and I got married to my husband. How can I update my civil status here in the USA? Because I’m planning to get my husband soon? Where can I update my green card too I want to change my civil status on my green card ID.
Hi atty! Im a 4thyr JD student here in tbe Philippines and planning to follow suit :)
Im just curious if I still have to take an LLM before I can sit on the NY or Cali bar? And can the processes be done online, or i really have to go to those states to pass all the requirements needed. Thanks Atty 🤗
Hi attorney! I’m Peruvian lawyer, with a US bachelor degree in social science’s, how can become a licensed lawyer in the US? , I need to pass for the law school? Thank you!
you need to take the LSAT first, then have to register for a J.D. upon finishing a J.D. you have to take the bar exam and pass it.
I am a Law degree holder from pakistan University. And have 2 years of experience. And also have high court bar licence.
What shoud i do to appear in Bar at law exam?
I don't want to do LLM and JD. Recommend me best options
hi how can i get in touch with you I have many questions
Hi atty. How much does a Llm cost in New york? thank you
I'm yet to complete my law degree from Kenya, and I want to do law school in The US in order to make it easier. Do I also have to go to law school in my country?
Hi! Sorry for the late response! You don’t need to go to law school in your country. You can apply to law schools in the US If you graduated with a bachelor’s degree or a college degree (typically 4 years).
You would need to study and take the Law school admissions test (LSAT) and choose a school to apply to. You can register for free in the LSAC website. www.lsac.org/lsat hope this helps!
Hi Atty. I’m JM. Just finished my final year in law school and now a JD. Pwede po ba ask if it isn’t too much, kung san pwede mag apply for paralegal positions online. Perhaps you can direct to websites where they accept JD from the Philippines? Thank you very much! 😊
Hi JM. Congratulations! That's great. Kung meron kang specific state in the U.S. na you want to start working I suggest you start there. So example sa Washington DC you can check dchr.dc.gov/page/careers
Typically, per state merong mga human resources websites. You can use their search tools to narrow it down. use key terms like "paralegal" or "law clerk"
A more effective way though is looking into private practice/ law firms in the area you want to be in. Mas maganda kasi kung may actual na person kang makaka usap even through email.
So kung may napili kang state, next is city within that state. Saka mo tignan yung mga surrounding areas para yun yung mga una mong tgnan na locations. Then search sa google kung merong mga law firms in that area. After you find law firms, look at their websites. Typically, sa top right corners merong options na "CAREERS" dun nila pinopost yung job openings nila.
Just send applications every chance you get. Medyo numbers game din siya. The more you submit the more chances of winning kung baga.
Like for this law firm, makikita mo careers www.crowell.com/careers
prepare yourself for responses such as . To be a paralegal you have to have certification as a paralegal, because if you are a lawyer in your country you will be overqualified to be a paralegal, but underqualified to be a lawyer.
@@pepevelez4742 why are you negative ? I passed the NY Bar exam with a foreign law degree without the LLM I took enough credits on my country and I studied for BAR exam and I passed !
@@idaniadiaz9531hi im also interested in being able to pass the NY bar as a foreign lawyer. Will you be willing to have a discussion? Just want more info
curious po. Which do you think is more difficult, the Ph bar or Ny bar?
It’s hard to say kasi hindi pa ako ng take ng Philippine bar pero feeling ko same lng sila or bka mas mahirap pa sa philippines kasi mas madaming subjects. Like taxation, hindi cya testable topic sa NY bar. Hope that helps!
Hi Atty. What if I don't make it to the US bar? What jobs are suitable for us who have a foreign law degree?
Hi Samantha! Paralegal work, consulting, school administrative jobs, and government jobs are good options 😊
@@atty.janellaloaiza8754 Thank you so much for being generous with your replies. Do I have a shot with the jobs mentioned even though i'm new here and don't have any work experience in the US? I already passed the bar in the ph.
Hiiii atty. I am graduating bachelor's in LLB in India I want to do LLM in USA what the process and is it worth? Job opportunities after masters in US can you please share some info according to this...
if you are planning to stay and litigate in the u.s. Is not worth it.... You will have a treacherous and miserable road to walk and at the end if you do pass the exam it will be very hard for you to find a job, Prepare yourself. Now if you stay in your country after the L.L.M that you can answer that question better than anyone, it pretty much depends how they honor it and if there will be a significance difference between the LL.M you do in the U.S. with all its implications and one you can do locally.
