An LL.B. earned from a UK law school by itself will not permit one to sit for a bar exam in the USA, unless it was earned full or part time at the institution. However, there are USA states that will allow you to sit for the bar by continuing your education and obtaining an LL.M. degree from a US ABA APPROVED law school. There are also U.S. states that will allow you to sit for the bar exam with an LL.B. by earning an additional specific number of law school course credits.
