The ILF in Germany sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. Does anyone know of any similar programs, anywhere in the world, I should also consider?

Thanks,

About me: U.S. citizen, about to graduate from U.S. law school, want to do advanced work but not in the States.

Are you aware that the program of the ILF is teaching mainly German law? If you consider working in a German law environment, the ILF will provide you with a respective business law background. To be honest, I have doubts if this program will be of worth for example in GB or in France. If you want to get a broader international perspective, you should - at least for Europe - look out for a degree program which has its focus on European law issues.

Hi,

you are right, the ILF tries to be as international as possible. Insofar, it seems to be one of the best programs in Germany with respect to law and finance. Nevertheless, if you study in Germany, you have to be aware that the lecturers will be mainly people trained in Germany and German law. Therefore, German law will be an issue and many aspects of comparative law will be explained on these grounds. Look at the list of subjects, in my opinion they are not that internationally focused as in the description you mentioned.
If this program suits you is a question of where you want to work later. The ILF is a very young institution. If you don't want to work in Germany, I would study at a law school better known in international terms - and these are, to my deepest regrets, seated outside Germany (Oxbridge, LSE ....).

Hello,

Thanks for the replies. It's been a while since I checked this board.

Does anyone know an actual student there? I didn't get the impression that they are "German" focused from their website.
