How to become a lawyer?

How can a United States lawyer become a solicitor in England or Wales?

  • I'm interested in the process of licensing attorneys who practice in one country and wish to move to and practice in another. I used the US, England, and Wales as examples because of the similarities in their justice systems. How does a US lawyer become licensed to practice law in England or Wales, or how would an English or Welsh solicitor become licensed to practice law in the US?

  • Answer:

    Well for a British or Welshman to become a lawyer in the USA, the person must take the Bar Exam in the USA, The thing is that if you take the Bar in one state, you are not considered a legal lawyer in another (unless you take the Bar in that other state as well). I ASSUME that there is some sort of test in England and Wales that certifies lawyers, but I do not know for sure.
