If you are currently practising law in the GCC and are thinking about boosting your career by taking the New York Bar exam, now is the right time. The New York Bar is one of the most sought-after qualifications in the legal profession because simply put, New York is one of the most important legal jurisdictions in the world. Earning the New York Bar qualification will add tremendous valuable competencies for practising international law. In a global corporate landscape such as the GCC, law firms are increasingly placing more value on lawyers who have developed skillsets tested by the New York Bar.

The DIFC Academy of Law has just launched a series of BARBRI courses whereby you can prepare for and qualify for the New York Bar exam in Dubai, “our mission is to offer local legal education opportunities with global value. Now GCC residents have the option of becoming qualified New York lawyers to enhance their competencies as international commercial lawyers”, says David Gallo, Director of the Academy of Law.

The BARBRI courses have helped 1.3 million students gain legal qualifications in the USA, and now “this partnership will help provide quality practical education in US law to the legal community of Dubai and the entire GCC, supporting its reality of being at the centre of international commerce”, says Stephen Fredette, Chairman, CEO of BARBRI.

Aimed at working professionals who have a busy schedule, there is a blended format of online and live in-classroom lectures. Students get 24/7 access to teaching materials, a personalized study plan, revision guides, and exam practise and support from experienced Course Directors.

If you have a law degree in a Common-Law jurisdiction such as in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Nigeria you are eligible to apply. Besides the flexible study schedule, another one of the distinct advantages of studying at the DIFC Academy of Law is that BARBRI students can gain unparalleled experience in pro bono legal work. In addition, AOL/BARBRI also offers a course in Legal English, and later this year a California Bar a Home Study programme will be launched.
