Hi, my name is Grisselle. I'm panamenian. I'm 23 years old. I'm interested in getting a Master in Maritime Law and I want to apply for the academic year 2008-2009. I have been thinking in National University of Singapore.
I need information. I want to know how hard is to get in one of these schools, what are their requirements and their quality. If you can suggest me other options, go ahead :)
By the way, I forgot to tell you that right now I'm working on my thesis, I don't have working experience and my school mark (grade) is 2.55/3.00. Could I be consider?

please, don't be shy

i think nus is actually one of the most ridiculous universities in the world

@rendition

ridiculous -thats too strong a word to be used :-(...and may i know the reason behind it??

as far as i know, its held in high esteem and is ranked one of the best in asia...Now pl dont say that the "rankings" are fixed, bogus or some such...

I have decided to PM you instead for my views on the matter. for others interested, i defer myself to a socratic way of answering u: what is great about NUS?

all I have left to say is that whilst I am not a proponent of pound-llewellyn formalism in terms of teaching, I do object to any methodical, mechanical approch to a curriculum. But again the subjectivity of this position can never be generalised, we all deal with pressures differently.

habermas calls for public discourse to legitimise the internal relation between law and democracy. prospective students should search for a climate where this is made possible. Being accepted into cantab I am glad that my institution scarcely adopts a passive role in forming developing legal principle and jurisprudence. I hope the same for NUS.

Do Magic circle firms hold the distinction in high regard? Maybe, i'm not a recruiter and therefore not in a position to comment. but this is certainly thought provoking and I believe NO one can answer this question in to affirmative or negative which is itself a response worth assimiliating.
It is unfortunate that International law firms operations are also ALMOST non existent in s'pore.

Finally, with regard to Asia NUS is probably regarded in high esteem. But your empirical yardstick is quite misleading considering the countries that surround it.I on the other hand believe that Melbourne, Usyd, a stone's throw away perhaps if you take a direct flight, would be a venture worth very penny.

Any one got a call from NUS 2008?

when do they actually start sending out the results??

I got the admission of LL.M Maritme law yesterday, i am from China
