The Dauphine - BARBRI International program offers training to become a US lawyer.
Université Paris Dauphine-PSL, in partnership with BARBRI International, has been offering, since 2017, a preparatory course for the bar admission exams in the states of New York and California, intended for students and professionals who wish to become attorneys at law.
Exam takers benefit from a 10-month study program specifically designed for them
- a training program adapted to each exam taker
- workshops organized at Université Paris-Dauphine with professionals experienced in preparing for both bar exams
- online courses developed by professors teaching at the top US law schools
- course materials
- mock exam sessions
- assistance in applying for the bar exam in the states of New York and California
In order to be eligible to take the New York and California bar exams, the exam taker must :
- New York bar – hold an LLB from a common law country, or hold an LLM from an American university
- California bar – It is sufficient to be a French lawyer to be eligible to take the bar exam for the State of California (without having a common law background).
