If I became a lawyer in a foreign country and I'm moving to the U.S. What do I need to work there?
Find answers to your legal question.

I'm planning to go to law school in the Dominican Republic, but I'm thinking about moving to the U.S in a couple of years. Do i need any kind of accreditation to work over there?
