I was reading the one about the conversion of Canadian LLB degrees into American JD programs. My question is, would I be able to attain my JD degree in the US, but pass my bar in Canada and practice in Canada? If so, what would I have to do? Thanks for any help and information you can provide, Neda Hi,

In Canada, and in most of the Common Law countries, a college degree or its equivalent is required before entry to law school. As such, a second bachelors (i.e., LLB) is not the same as a post-bachelors law program. Additionally, there is substantially greater study (about twice as many credits) in law school than a masters program. Therefore, a professional doctorate is more appropriate. Lastly, the very first doctorate (nearly 1000 years ago) was in law. Lawyers have a rightful place to claim a doctorate, both practically and historically.

I see why you think the paragrah may be confusing. I have rewritten the paragraph to clarify. Hope this is an improvemment and is now clear. The key point is that LL.B./J.D. programs allow one to earn two law degrees from both an American law school and a Candadian law school. John Richardson www.lawschoolbound.org Hello Heather:

Thank you. Canadian law schools – converting the LL.B. to the J.D. When a Canadian law school changes from the LL.B. to the J.D. (which they all are or will), it should be seen as an “LL.B. with a name change. A J.D. from a Canadian law school is not an “ABA Approved” J.D. In other words a Canadian J.D. degree will not allow one to take the bar exam in any U.S. state. (There are some U.S. states which will allow Canadian law graduates – whether an LL.B. or J.D.) – to take their bar exam.) Hence, graduates of Canadian LLB./J.D. programs will have earned an ABA approved J.D. in addition to a Canadian law degree. Is it just me or are there contradictions within this section please? Thank you.
