I am interested in pursuing an LLM specialising in tax law either in Canada or the US/

Anyone who can suggest the best law schools?

I have qualifications in law and accounting

Canada is really crap for academic programs in tax law - you would be better off doing a US LLM.

cowboyblues,
Thanks a lot for the information and will sure take into consideration as I seek admission to a suitable law school.

What does anybody think my chances of getting into a top 5 program are? I am top 7% from a tier 4 law school, law review, A in Federal Income Tax, some tax expierence at a Summer Associate position after my 2L year. Any advice would be great!

Donnie1:

IMHO, you should have a real good shot at #4 and lower. As far as #1-#3 goes, has your school ever placed someone in one of those programs? (Ask your professors.) If so, did they perform well in the LLM program?

T4's place their students at GT and FL all the time, but alot has to do with how academically rigorous the admissions committee percieves your school's "top 7%" to be.

I think that NY is a longshot.
