A graduate program (law school) that may be of interest to OP is the Michigan State University College of Law dual degree program. This is a four year program in conjunction with the University of Ottawa School of Law. Students spend two years at one law school, then two years at the other law school. After three years a first law degree is awarded and after four years a second law degree is awarded. The student then has both a US law degree & a Canadian law degree.

Also, I believe that the University of Colorado School of Law offers a similar dual degree option with a different Canadian law school that may or may not be still active. It is / was in conjunction with the University of Alberta Faculty of Law.

There is at least one other program of this type between a US & Canadian law school.

The barriers to becoming an attorney seem to be changing rapidly–due, in large part, to the introduction of the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) which enables one to sit for about 35 state bars at one time.

Somewhat hard to believe, but two or three states still allow one to sit for the state bar exam without earning a law degree. Not sure, but it may be Vermont, California, and one other state.

Granted that an LLM degree from a US law school is most advantageous for those with civil law degrees as opposed to common law degrees.
