Then this is a different proposition that you raise.
You do not need to sit for the LLM to sit for the NY Bar.
That is additional cost and a complete waste of time.
A
NUS law degree is good enough to sit for the New York bar.
Whether you pass the NY Bar or not is a separate matter that boils down to aptitude.
Clearly the LLM from Columbia or NYU has no value to practice unless your first degree is really bad from a university rank beyond rank number 300 in the world that any reasonable American law firm will not recognize.
