 Post subject: Practicing law in US and EU

Hi,
I am a foreign student (European) and I applied to some T3 law schools... I know that graduating from a low tier law school makes it difficult to find a good job in a big law firm.. but I thought:

Once I pass a US state Bar Exam and I get the abilitation to practice there, I can ask my country department of justice to recognize my abilitation and then (after I pretty simple exam) practice in my country...

Do you think that a lawyer (graduated from a T3 law school) who can practice in two countries (in US and in EU) can be more attractive for big law firms? :wink:
thanks!

i think that for any big law firm to care about that, you would first have to meet the standards they would expect of any other lawyer who was practicing in the US. or to be more direct, i don't think it relieves you of, or changes in any way, the burden of proof needed to gain a job with US big law over anybody else. I don't think it will be much of a factor.

Based on statistics i have seen, depending on which big law you would want to work it, it might have to be top 2% if at all coming from a T3
