    Practicing Law in HK

    Hi,

    I was wondering if I were to get a JD (law degree) in America, would I be able to practice law here in HK immediately or would I have to take further tests?

    Thanks

    I believe you have to take an exam but I could be wrong.

    you'll have to take a series of re-qualification exams, and you must have had at least two years experience practicing as a lawyer prior to that, you can check the HK law society's webpage for additional info.
