If you study law in australia can you be a lawyer in the US? -

I want to be a lawyer but it would be easier to study in sydney because im from here. If I study here can I become a lawyer in america or do I need to learn new things?

Yes. I know people who got a law degree in the UK and practice in the US. They told me that most states allow you to practice law if you studied in a country whose legal system is derived from British Common Law. You would have to pass the Bar first -- and that would be hard to do without taking some sort of prep classes.

perhaps you have to take the bar test again...but i dont think so.. youre not coming for a third world country
