Bar Examination and Admission:

The KLS LL.M. degree does not qualify a student to sit for the bar exam in Japan or overseas. The double degree program at University of Washington may allow some students to qualify to sit for a U.S. state bar examination, but the details will vary by individual and some students may not meet requirements depending upon education content, timing of degree, and practical experience. Please confirm with the applicable state bar examiner. Also, please be aware that each state's bar exam eligibility requirements may change in the future.
