An LLB (Bachelor of Laws) degree is the foundational qualification needed to practice law in many countries. However, obtaining the degree alone does not grant the right to practice as a lawyer. After completing your LLB, you typically need to pass a bar exam or undergo further training to become a licensed legal professional. The specific requirements depend on the country or jurisdiction where you wish to practice. For example, in the UK, after obtaining an LLB, you may need to complete the Legal Practice Course (LPC) or Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) before qualifying.
In some countries, such as the United States, the path to practicing law requires passing the state bar exam, which evaluates knowledge of legal principles and ethics. Additionally, in certain jurisdictions, practical experience through internships or clerkships may be mandatory. Therefore, while an LLB provides the academic foundation, you will need to fulfill the additional licensing requirements specific to your location to practice law as a licensed attorney.
