Hi all,
There is another general forum here that discusses PIL, which I also find very helpful - but I'd greatly appreciate people's comments on the aforementioned choices. I would like to focus on international comparative studies in relation to business/trade/competition and examine international organizations and arbitration regimes. I'm interested as to how the international scene views both schools, their faculty, research, etc.

Understanding alot of this answer is "it depends what you want to do with it after" - I'll say that I honestly just want feedback on the merits of gaining a great background in EU law vs. advantages of being in Washington. Especially as my goal is to succeed in an international organization - I wonder whether a well distinguished school in Washington then retricts me to that state exclusively. I welcome all constructive observations!

Good luck to all,
