Hello,

I am currently a 2L student in law school in New York. I really enjoy tax law and want to pursue an LLM in tax right after I finish my JD. I want to focus in international tax. Does anyone know or have any opinion about the value of getting the tax LLM overseas? I was thinking perhaps at Leiden, LSE, Maastricht, Vienna, or the European Tax College. Would a European LLM degree help me at all in job hunting back in the US? Would what I learn be applicable to practice in the US? I as this because I am not sure if I would want to stay somewhere in Europe or come back to NYC. Either was I want to practice international tax law and a year studying intensely in Europe would be a great experience. Any opinions??? Thanks so much.

Hi, I interested in the same programs (2009/2010). Have you decided whether you do your LLM in Europe? How about NYU. NYU is considered the most prestigous Tax LLM by many people in Europe. As an American, would you agree to that?
