From foreign lawyer to lawyer in the United States: A step by step guide

Discover how to make your dream of practicing law in the United States a reality with Thomás Alzuru's new book: "From Foreign Lawyer to U.S. Lawyer: A Step by Step Guide". In this book, Alzuru shares his own experience and presents a unique vision on how to achieve the practice of law in the U.S. in an expeditious and organized manner, without losing your way.

Alzuru guides us through each necessary step on the road to this goal, starting from the moment you graduate as a lawyer in your home country to your entry into the U.S. legal system in pursuit of professional practice. In precise detail, it explores the admissions process at U.S. universities, the requirements to be met, and the most effective avenues to pursue your career. In addition, it offers a detailed explanation of how to prepare for the bar exam in various U.S. states, especially those that accept applications from foreign lawyers.

One of the highlights of this book is Alzuru's guidance on the option of pursuing a Master of Laws (LL. M.) instead of a full Juris Doctor (J.D.). This decision will allow you to save time and investment costs, while acquiring new knowledge of U.S. law, preparing you to obtain accreditation according to the state and area of law in which you wish to practice.
