NY bar 新规，申请2018年LLM的同学注意

michael00112008UID: 3722023

今天无意中看到NY网站上的关于Skill Competency的新规。这条新规将适用于2018年8月1日入学的外国LLM申请人。

skill competency将作为NY Bar申请条件之一。有5种方法可以满足这一条件，但是对于外国的LLM申请人，就只有path 4 and path 5可以适用（参见常见问答3）。

Path 4: 在本科毕业后有在本国或美国律所至少6个月的实习期，实习可以是paid或者unpaid.
（因为path 4强调 post-graduate apprenticeship, 因此本科期间的实习应该不算。意思是本科一毕业就直接就读LLM的小本，可能无法满足NY Bar的申请资格）

Path 5: 在本国至少全职执业一年或兼职执业两年。

对于通过司考但是没有律师证的同志，只要是从事法律相关工作满足上述期限的，可以视为执业。（参见常见问答47）

希望对大家有帮助。

我的理解是New York Bar仍然可以考，但是到时候申请律师证的时候要满足条件。

前不久刚刚注意到这条生效的新规，本人2014年通过中国司考，在北京外资所做香港资本市场2年所以没有中国律师执照，没有practice PRC law，没有在qualified PRC attoreny手底下的apprenticeship，看来看去感觉没办法满足4和5的要求，困扰。。不知道有没有同样经历的筒子。。

FQA第三问里面，path1就可以，不知道楼主只提path4,5是啥意思

How do I satisfy the skills competency and professional values requirement for
admission?
An applicant for admission may satisfy the skills competency requirement by
completing one of five pathways contained in Rule 520.18. Pathway 1 allows an applicant to satisfy the skills competency and professional values requirement by submitting a ertification from the applicant’s law school confirming that (1) the law school has developed a plan identifying and incorporating into its curriculum the skills and professional values that, in the school’s judgment, are required for its graduates’ basic competence and ethical participation in the legal profession, and has made this plan publicly available on the law school’s website; and (2) the applicant has acquired sufficient competency in those skills and sufficient familiarity with those values

Can a foreign-educated student who is completing an LL.M. program at an ABA- approved law school use courses taken during the LL.M. program to satisfy pathway 1?
It is possible that a law school could develop a program that would permit an LL.M. student to satisfy pathway 1. LL.M. students must be subject to the same requirements as J.D. students under the school’s plan. No special or relaxed standards apply to LL.M. students under pathway 1.
