I've got admitted to both programs. I understand the two programs focus on different subjects, one in Law and Economics and the other Int'l Trade and Finance. However, besides this difference, could anyone provide insights on ups and downs for either program?

Information about EMTTLF is especially limited on this board - is it because the program is relatively new?

Thanks!

I have heard that the EMLE is far better, due to the program itself and the faculties that are part of it... I havent attented neither of them, though...
Congrats for beeing accepted in both of them!!

congrats on ur admission! have anyone else have heard from EMTTLF? in my opinion, EMTTLF offers better curriculum, and better universities are involved in it

Congrat,

but is really strange... nobody has received any information of both masters and you have got both acceptance. Great!
What did they tell you?
When is the deadline to accept or not the course??

has anyone else received any information from EmTTLF Secretariat?

No, nothing....what about you guys?

I appied for the LLM in Finance offered by the ILF, and unfortunately I have been put in a waiting list. I can not consider it as a bad new but by no means as a good new. Lets see... What about you gentlemen? Have you already been accepted? Cheers.

No, I just applied for the EMTTLF..... and I still waiting for information....

I ve been admitted to EMTTLF (with specialization at IFL Frankfurt and with Erasmus scholarship), but have been denied to EMLE.
I realy do nor know what to do, since I work with finance law and LLMs at USA universities are more recognized to such area. I apply to some USA universities, but have been admitted only at Duke until now. No scholarships, but I trying to be sponsored by the company where I work.
What you guys would do in my place?
best regards!!

First of all, when you received the information from EMTTLF Secretariat?

Answering your question, I agree with you and If I were you I would go to an american university....

Received by February 20, 2009....

Thanks...

Where is my LLM. If I were you I would go definitey to Duke since it is top10 USA university and the professors over there are simply excellent.
On a different note, its reputation it is widely known all over the world.

I would surely accept Duke. It is an incredible university and its LLM program is regared in the entire world. I have some friends that have taken Duke and they have just loved it... everything about it. The city, the college spirit and, of course, the LLM itself. All of them got offers from top law firms in the US and abroad and doing fine!! Besides that the LLM of Duke is a 1 year program, while the EMTTLF is a 2 year program... that makes the whole difference regarding beeing placed back in the "job market"... I would certainly attend Duke... the extra $$ that you will spend are totally worth it!!!

And what about you Colorado? Have you received any information from the emttlf secretariat? Where are you from?

Hi Imilanez, as I said I have been put in a waiting list. That's very bad but let's see If I am accepted.
I am from Barcelona (Spain) and currently I am working as a visiting lawyer at Fox Mandal Little which it's a top indian international law firm very active in cross-border transactions. The problem it's that the ILF told me that till May I will not be able to know whether I have been accepted or not.

Sorry I forgot to say that I am working in Delhi, India

Thanks colorado, you have such a good background, I´m pretty sure you´re going to be admitted!!

I´m still waiting for the Emttlf. Anyone else?

lmilanez, seems like since we have not received any messages from them, we have not received EM scholarship :(. On the their website it is stated that successfull candidates will be punctually contacted. And now they do not answer any letters concerning application status. Meanwhile, in the letter of acknowledgement of documents receipt they wrote that we would keep you informed about your application status. Don't know what to think.

For the EMTTLF (with a second year in ILF), I got a sense that it really is a combination of the Deusto/Tilburg one year LLM of In't Business Law (http://www.transnational.deusto.es/academic/#llm) and the ILF LLM, with possibily a slight modification. Both programs are quite good though.
