If you are accepted, you will have a couple more years of study and then you can apply for the bar exams. If you pass these exams you will be qualified to conduct business as a lawyer.

On the other hand, you can represent another person, at their request in a judicial procedure, but you cannot present yourself as a member of the bar if you are not.
