Hello everybody!
I'm from a civil-law country and intending to take Master degree abroad in English. And I'm considering between common-law university and civil-law university.
U know, most countries strong in law follow common-law system, and they speak English also. But common law and civil law are really different. It's hard for me to apply what I gained from a common-law university into a civil-law country.
I've thought about studying courses tought in English from a civil-law country (e.g: France or Sweden). Of course, English environment in those countries are not as good as those above. Btw, my achievement is Legal English.
Which should I decide now?
Thanks for your support!!

I've got a civil law background also (Brazil) and from a Brazilian perspective I would recommend a common law university. The reason is exactly what you say: common law and civil law are totally different. Considering a lot of investors in civil law countries come from common law jurisdictions it's important to have that contact with a different legal culture. I'd apply to common law universities if I were you. Plus you'd get to go to a country where people speak English as their mother tongue (which would add a lot to your speaking skills).

:) Thank you a lot!!
I've asked my professor too, and he also adviced me to choose a common law universities and English-spoken country!!
Now, I can make up my mind thanks to your advice :)
