    Depends where "abroad" is, but it may be easier to get recognised as a lawyer in another jurisdiction if you are already recognised at home.

    Yes, its easier to get into the legal field as a qualified lawyer.

    For example, If someone wanted to practice law in California, they need to be a qualified lawyer over here and then just pass the bar exams. the New York bar just requires a law degree, so it really depends on where you intend to practice.

    Not sure about oz but with just a law degree you can get your degree valued by the NYC bar and then just pass their exams and you are in i think. There is a massive thread on the NYC bar on this site somewhere!

    yes, Blackhall Place is if you wish to study to be a solicitor whereas Kings Inns is where you attend if you wish to study to be a barrister

    New York City is probably the most competitive market for even US lawyers.
