How does an English solicitor convert to American/Australian law?
I’m currently studying Law at a university in England, and am seriously considering a career as a solicitor.
I have always wanted to live abroad, either the US or Australia, but am wondering what impact an English LPC would have on my chances of doing this.
Hypothetically, how does one convert from English to Australian/American law? I assume this must be possible through some sort of conversion course?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I am a current law student in the U.S.
Each state has their own bar and their own State Law Bar requirements to be admitted to practice in the state.

Here are a couple of different states. You can google the State Bar from any other state for requirements.
But…you could also practice for a company in the U.S. without being admitted to the bar but you would be restricted from litigating a claim in the court system. This still leaves a great deal of law or management opportunities.
Many here get a law degree for reasons other than to practice or litigate. If you are predisposed to this course then it is very easy to work here with a law degree without being a member of the bar.
I have the same question about practicing in the U.K. with a degree from a U.S. law school.
