My wife is a lawyer in Peru. She is interested in becoming a lawyer in California. What is the quickest and easiest route for her to take to become elligible to take and pass the California Bar Exam? Thanks for the two answers so far. I know that of course much studying will be involved, but the main thrust of my question is, what must she do to become ELIGIBLE to take the Bar Exam? I understand that if you are a lawyer from an English Common Law Country (e.g. England) then you can just take the bar exam (presumably after having studied for it, but that is up to you). As a Peruvian lawyer, though, what must she do to become eligible to take the bar exam?

I live in South Australia and I am in year 11 at high school. I get mostly good grades (except for maths which I got a C in but I think I can improve) and really want to become a lawyer, but i do not know what the requirements are. What subjects will I need to do in year 12 and what grades will I have to get? Also, what score do you have to get to study law at Uni?
