Please help... Pre-Law/ Lawyers/Anybody!?

So I am facing major problems. I am an American and my fiance is Australian.
I just got into Medical school and starting soon. He just graduated from law school in Australia, and has started his articles (training year before starting to work as an independent lawyer).

He agreed to come to USA only if there is something he can do with his degree, otherwise I'll have to go to Australia and I don't want to.

PLEASE HELP ME. What are his options? How can he become a lawyer again here? What else can he do with his law degree?

I am in a bad situation I don't want to pick.

If he wanted to practice in the US he would have to get an LLM [masters of law] in comparative law to be eligible to sit for the bar in most jurisdictions. The LLM is 1 year long were he would learn US Constitutional Law, Civil Procedure and Criminal Procedure.

After completing his masters in law he could sit for the state bar that you are in and then after passing begin working as an attorney in the US.

sounds like yr marriage is off to a shaky start--not the foundation for decades of wedded bliss. What about working for a US office of an AUS law firm? this will probably only work if u live in a large city.

He could be a paralegal.

Each state of the Union licenses attorneys to practice law in their state. To practice in another state usually one is required to pass the bar exam in that state. Have your friend write the State Bar Association in your state for information. The reason for this custom is tha the law for every state differs from all the others. There may be some international law firms in Washington or New York that are looking for someone who knows Australian law. Best wishes.
