Law Degree's worth from Paris Law School?
-
I am close to finishing up my undergrad with hopes of attending law school after. I've studied abroad in Paris in the past and loved it, My question is if I were to enroll in a French law school (ex. Sorbonne) and get a degree from there, would it have any worth back in the states? I have housing in Paris through connections I made abroad previously, and I'm pretty sure law school tuition over there would be a fraction of the cost, not to mention that Paris is just an awesome city to live in and the experience alone would be invaluable (debatable reasons for some I'm sure). Regardless, is this a feasible plan, or more of a waste of time. (Also, I am not fluent in French but my understanding is that Sorbonne in particular has a ton of classes taught solely in English)

Answer:
In the US, to practice law, you must get your bachelors degree plus 3 years of law school. After completion of law school, must past the bar to become licensed to practice law. Most states are not "reciprocal", so if for instance you were licensed in the state of Indiana and wanted to practice law in the state of Florida, would have to take the bar in Florida also to get licensed to practice in Florida. You would need to know what is required from Paris that could be transferred to the US, or if you would need other degrees or qualifications to become licensed in the US. But,,,,,,,,,the law field is saturated with tons of lawyers and no jobs available. good luck

Only if you want to practice law in France. And virtually all of the law classes would be taught in French and you would need to read and speak it at a college graduate level.

I'm licensed in three states. All three states required that I be a graduate of an ABA-accredited law school in order to be licensed. I would bet there are no ABA accredited law schools overseas, though I could be wrong :p
