Dear colleagues:

Hope you are doing well and that applications are going smoothly. I wanted to use this opportunity to ask your opinion regarding the leading programs in International Arbitration. To give you some background I’m a licensed attorney from a civil law jurisdiction (6 years of working experience) with a LLM Degree in the US with concentration in Energy, which is the main focus of my practice; however, I´m extremely interested in gaining relevant experience in arbitration matters to boost my practice.

In this connection, I´m considering to apply to the following programs:

1. MIDS.
2. University of Miami LL.M. in International Arbitration.
3. King’s College LL.M. in Dispute Resolution.

Please your advise is highly appreciated.

Regards,

I heard that Queen Mary has a great international arbitration program, pretty much the equivalent of the MIDS.

I am NOT an expert, but I have a friend who did the MIDS (which is considered #1 for international arbitration apparently), and he told me that Queen Mary was the "rival" of the MIDS and had the same level of quality.

So I would advise you to have a look at Queen Mary's LLM (maybe before Miami and King's College), then go to the forums to compare with your other choices maybe.

Many thanks for your answer! It was really helpful!

Regards,
