I see, it must be interesting to have an international experience plus traveling.
I guess, there is nobody besides us, who is interested in talking about the program. :-)

haha..what ever they said about the exclusivity of wisdom...wisdom is exclusive and so are the people possessing it.......so i guess lesser the people.....better for me atleast..haha

hey zok...do you think having a first class degree in economics and a second class degree in law helps? ofcourse 3 years of corporate experience in a leading law firm in india? i am waiting now.i confirmed via email and i understand that they are still receiving appluication for the few seats left now....i hope i get through....i have been told that the placemet scenario after ILF is quite impressive,,,,almost 200% placements..what do ya sya?

What i can say is, if we applied at the same time, and for them to select one of us, they'd select you, believe me. First, I don't have a degree in Economics. Second, I don't have much experience in business law. I am a human rights lawyer. Feeling much relaxed? :-)

Even the moderator gave you two stars to you but not to me.

you are very modest..i know you are a great scholar and already accepted at ILF....but what is this moderator thing about..i din have an idea.....

Hi guys,
as you have probably seen from my previous posts I am currently at the ILF (second semester just started btw...great classes I must say, even better than the 1st semester).
The placement scenario seems indeed impressive. All the alumni I've met have good positions. Some students get job offers even before completing the program.
Going forward, we have now the first American student from Columbia, for one semester. Commencing with yr class there should be American students from Columbia for the whole yr (joint degree JD/LLM). Good news for the ILF coz this means that the program has been accredited (for American students) by the ABA.

thats great gio....it was nice to have your comments as you are into the course urself....what do you feel about the faculty at ILF. When you say that abt the job prospects...do most students land a job in germamny itself or some other place...? and most important....where do you stay? you have been privided accomodation or some thing or you have arranged it yourself? thanx buddy

hey guys i just received the admission offer fron Erasmus University...Now just waiting to hear from ILF..... god this wait is killing me..

Hey, congratulations! what was the program? Is that EMLE?

I am currently living in the University dorms, there is a certain number of rooms available. A lottery takes place every year to assign the rooms to the interested students of the ILF (I don't know exactly how many rooms are there: in my dorms we are 6 students of the ILF, there are probably 2 or 3 other rooms in other dorms). So if you are admitted remember that you will have to show you interest in participating in the lottery (Btw good luck on the admission process, and congratulations for yr admission to Erasmus University).
As to job prospects, I am certain, although I don't know the numbers, that most students find a job back home, or in some other countries (UK for instance), but not in Germany. If you are a foreign lawyer, the possibility of being hired by a law firm in Germany are scarce (unless you are American, or the law firm has some special interest in having a, say, chinese or indian lawyer). It is simpler to get a job in a bank. So it depends on what you are looking for, and where you come from, and if you can speak German.
On the other hand, it seems to me that so far the ILF students were successful in finding a good job in their home countries or somewhere else.

thannks gio.....that was very nice informatuion and useful too..i am really excited to get into ILF now.....just keeping my fingers crossed...all the best to you also for the rest of the course and afterwards...

yes zok its erasmus university, rotterdam.

hey guys....its too tough to wait now......just wanna hear up something from ILF now..hey zok what are u upto? have u secured your admissions and completed other formalities?

hey guys....its too tough to wait now......just wanna hear up something from ILF now..hey zok what are u upto? have u secured your admissions and completed other formalities?

i know it can be difficult at ILF with that kind of expenses.....i hiope you are able to resolve theissues....but i guess you will be takign up the course...socholarship or no scholarship..right?

gio, now that you are coming to the close of your programme...you must be in a gud position to advice on..who are the employers who0 generally hire from ILF. I have heard that JP Morgan routinely picks up students from campus there..which other banks pick up students from ILF,,,?? CAN YOU THROW some lighton the last year placements..did all students last year were sucessfully placed? can you tell me about a few?

Hi everyone.
I will also be joining the 2007-2008 ILF class. I'm from Greece.
See you all the forthcoming October!!

congrats sulpikius........thats great

how much time they took to confirm the admission after you send in your application? the confirmation was via email at first or directly through snail mail?

4 weeks more or less.
They replied via e-mail. They are very well- organized and rather swift i might add.
Good luck with your application!

hey zok....did you manage to resolve your issue pertaining to scholarship? buddy i have not heard from ILF ..its 15 days since i sent my application to them after they confirmed me that some seats were still left...but havent heard anything......if i dont hear from them for some more time i will have to confirm my admission at Erasmus then....you do tell me what happening at your end? i hope all your things regarding ILF are in place now.

hey, thanks for asking. I am also still waiting what they will tell.... you should probably inform Erasmus that you are waiting for results from ILF if there is a deadline to confirm your enrollment at Erasmus.
