Requirements for practicing law in the United States vary from state to state. The New Jersey Bar Association is very stringent, requiring a doctor of jurisprudence degree from an American Bar Association law school. Students from other states should consult with the bar of the state in which they intend to practice before enrolling in law school.

All foreign educational credentials must be evaluated in terms of U.S. standards by an agency approved by the law school. The admissions office will refer applicants for this purpose to a reputable credential evaluation agency, which charges a fee for its services.
