<p>Does anyone know what the possibilities for postgraduate studies in the USA are if someone has finished law school in Europe?</p>
<p>If you want to continue in the legal field, most US law schools offer MA or PhD programs in different aspects of law.</p>
<p>If you want to continue in a different field, a foreign law degree may be applicable to post-graduate studies in political science, history, or business. Much depends on your work experience. Pop by your local office of EducationUSA, and talk with the counselors there for more ideas.

<p>I got this,</p>
<p>“You can get admitted for a JD as long as you have completed the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree from your home country (which it sounds like you have) without too much trouble. There are several hoops you’ll have to jump through regarding your transcripts, so allow for plenty of time.
Your other option is to get an LLM. These are shorter programs intended primarily for international students who are already authorized to practice law in their home countries. Not all states will allow you to sit for the bar with an LLM, but you can in many.”</p>
<p>Means there are two options, first one is off cause person need to have good grades, there is an only second option that is LLM.
I would like to know how much postgraduate studies usually cost (including all living expenses on east cost) ?!
How many people stay to live and work in the USA? I suppose people that stay are interested in practicing the law in the USA, am I right?</p>
<p>unless you can find a law firm willing to sponsor you for a work visa, you will need to leave the US after you finish school.</p>
<p>Some law firms with large international divisions will hire foreign trained lawyers to work on those projects. If you want to practice US law, you will need to pursue a course of studies that will prepare you for the bar exam in at least one state.</p>
<p>To find out costs, you need to check the websites of a few law schools. Look for “Cost of Attendance” or COA. Pay attention to what each place includes in the COA estimates. Some won’t put in as much for books or travel as others. In order get a student visa, you will need to demonstrate that you have enough money to meet the COA.</p>
<p>And as katliamom wrote, if you don’t find a work visa sponsor, you will have to leave the US. Make certain that whatever you choose to study here will also get you a job in another country.</p>
<p>Ok guys how can I choose what field Is best if I desire to practice law in the USA?
What field of law should I choose, is it international law or something like that?
And how can I use USA postgraduate degree in Europe if we know that there are different law systems?</p>
