Mon Jan 31, 2005 10:55 AM Hi Star, you surely compete with the "Where are you from?" thread which is still a bit longer ;-) Hi Russ, Yes that our list might be a little shorter. Now that you have joined us, we will overtake it soon enough. How is life in London? |

How are your apllications going? and what about Vietnam, did you already go? Ke ai de Julius, Welcome back!! My applications are going well. I have already accepted Leiden's offer and will further process matters like housing and scholarship applications. I haven't started my trip yet. I am going on the Chinese New Year's day. Guess I will send you some pics about my trip later. Hehe... And you? What's up? he ni yi yang ke ai de Star (lol) |

Hey Star, Nice to see your still around! Well, not so much from my side, spending my days in the library and trying to memorize those millions of Chinese characters now and then. My mandarin class starts on Thursday so we can soon switch to Mandarin .... not ;-)Tue Feb 01, 2005 01:38 AM Wo ye he ni yi yang ke ai de J |

Re: Leiden's reputation
zi cheng hen ke ai de Julius,Wed Feb 02, 2005 03:39 PM You sure you want to shift to Mandarin? Pinyin or Chinese characters? If pinyin, it would be like code breaking. Very challenging, but I love it!!!! hahaha Another challenging thing I am doing now is learning about cooking. My father was a chef, but I know nothing about cooking. But I am enjoying doing it now, just think I can cook on my own when I am in the Netherlands..wonderful, bi ni ke ai de Star |

Re: Leiden's reputation
Hi Star! Sounds good, the supermarkets in NL are quite good you will find most things you need. I am not sure you will find the right ingredients for Chinese food, however, but they do have quite a few Chinese supermarkets as well. My Mandarin class was pretty hard, I think we will have to postpone the Chinese message posting ;-) Fri Feb 04, 2005 02:58 AM I amlloking forward to the Chinese new year by the way, the have a big parade and everything here in NY. When is it exactly, next weekend right? Julius |

Re: Leiden's reputation
Hallow everyoneMon Feb 07, 2005 07:25 AM I'm Joseph from Indonesia. I also want to pursue my LLM in the Netherlands. Previously I almost sure that I would like to enrol for LLM specializing in International Business Law at Leiden but last week there was Netherland Educational Fair and many netherland universities offer LLM program. Surprisingly, info from that fair, for this year Leiden merge that program into European law so I have to reconsider my option to go to Leiden. Does anyone know about this? From that fair also I noticed that groningen is the cheapest and they said at the moment they are the no 1 law univ in the netherlands (as you can see in their website) and they have international business law and economic. what do you think about groningen? thx PS: this site is so useful. Aside from obtaining lots info you can also meet new friends from all over the world who have the same interest. Nice |

Re: Leiden's reputation
Hi Star, Hi Joseph,Mon Feb 07, 2005 02:21 PM Joseph: Nice you joined in! I am afraid I cannot tell you much about Groningen though, no. 1 university in NL, I dont know, it always depends who sais that, I havent seen a ranking for the NL so far. But I am sure Star can tell you more about it as she will probably go to Leiden.. Star: At first I thought that you meant my Chinese character writing was "so bad that I cannot join you in China" ;-) but after I deciphered the characters (still takes me quite some time...) I got the real meaning, yes I would love to celebrate it in China! I hope I can go back before the end of the year. But NY is supposed to have the biggest Chinese community outside China so it should be quite authentic (I live right next to Chinatown).. Julius |

Mon Feb 07, 2005 05:10 PM Hallow everyone Hi Joseph, nice to meet you! I have been informed of the programme merger. You can find relavent info on their website, which i think you might already have. Yes that this new programme will focus more on business law on the European level, however, they will still have the international level. I think Groningen is very strong in public law, but Leiden is thought by Dutch ppl to be the best. |

Mon Feb 07, 2005 05:30 PM Hi Star, Hi Joseph, Julius, the big holiday begins tomorrow... but i am already tired... you know, visiting friends and relatives.... we dont usually have big parades in china, because this is supposed to be a time to spend with family and friends, enjoying a big dinner. You are going to join the activities in the chinatown? I guess most ppl in chinatown are cantonese... they probably dont make jiao zi at the new year eve. Ppl in the north do this.. |

Re: Leiden's reputation
Yes, I can imagine, sounds like social stress.. I have seen alot of 饺子 here in Chinatown and eaten pretty good ones but you are right, most people here are Cantonese (how did you know?). Anyway, I will join the parade and everything for sure, but first I have to do my homework for the CHinese class, o god. Oh by the way, I saw there is a new master program in Beijing at 北京大学 listed on LLM GUIDE now, have you heard about that one?

Re: Leiden's reputation
Is anyone considering the LLM in Public Law w/ criminal law specialization? I am an American lawyer, practicing for 10 years, trying to choose an LLM program. I have looked at several schools online, but it is difficult to know what the schools are really like. Any feedback?

Re: Leiden's reputation
Brent, I am also thinking about applying to the Public International Law LLM with International Criminal Law Specialisation offered by Leiden university. There is a Supranational Criminal Law Lectures Series which looks interesting: www.ljil.leidenuniv.nl/index.php3?m=132&c=103 Have you looked at the faculty? The link is: www.llmpil.leidenuniv.nl/index.php3?m=2&c=30

Re: Re: Leiden's reputation
Marks, thanks for the link. I have not checked out the faculty yet; I have only heard of the school through its connection to the Hague international courts. I am going to subscribe to the international law journal and get up to speed. Has anyone applied to the LLM program yet? Been accepted?Tue Feb 15, 2005 05:25 AM Star, I wish I had time for "the festival" -- too much work getting ready to make this move, which means putting my law practice on hold for at least a year.
