Yes, as a Cameroonian with an LL.B, you can take the Bar exam in some countries. In the U.S., states like New York and California allow foreign law graduates, but you may need additional coursework. In the U.K., the SQE or Bar Training Course is required for solicitor or barrister roles. In Canada and Australia, assessments and extra studies may be needed. Requirements vary; check the specific jurisdiction's guidelines.
