What are the requirements for being an American lawyer?

If you want to get an American lawyer's license, you must first pass the American bar exam, which is commonly known as the USBAR exam. There is no unified national judicial examination in the United States, and each state is an independent judicial unit with its own lawyer examination, application conditions and passing standards. If you get a license from a certain state, you can usually only practice in that state. At present, only a few states in the United States allow people who are not American nationals to take the exam, such as new york and California. Other states generally need American citizenship, so the California Bar Examination and the new york Bar Examination have also become the first choice for candidates in China. There is no conflict between the American Bar Examination and the China Law Examination. Many domestic lawyers are dual-licensed, which has obvious advantages in undertaking foreign-related business.
