American law firms and foreigners trained in the US
Posted: Wed Dec 22, 2010 7:57 pm
Hey
I'm foreigner and considering to attend an American law school in order to get a JD degree, pass one state bar (according to which university I'll be accepted by) and work as an attorney.
This being said, do you know if American law firms are likely to hire foreigners when they could basically hire any other American citizen ? Moreover, is being additionally trained in a foreign country (such as France, for instance) helping ?
Thanks for your answers
