American lawyers, once they are barred, can immediately go to the any court they are barred in. In England, it seems like it is quite the process before you are allowed to court. I assume that overall both Americans and Brits end up being similarly qualified. Americans just get more up front education before they get paid. Brits have to "pupil" with a barrister for a while before they can go to court; repeating myself, Americans have no such requirement.
