I'll ask this often repeated question, please bear with me. I'm a law graduate from India with one year litigation experince. I wanted to know from which would it be best country to pursue master in laws from; UK, US or Australia. From the Australia boards, the impression that is created is that US/UK maybe the preferred destination but I couldnt find the reasons as to why.
What would be my future prospects after LL.M. Will I'll be allowed to work at all, atleast as a paralegal or support staff if not in actual litigation, in the country of my LL.M.
Another important question specifically from the Indian members here is, what when I return home? What sort of offers can I expect? Is it worthwhile to spend all the money and time on a foreign degree if I wish to return to India ultimately?
If I go for education abroad at all, it will be on student/education loans, so its very important for me to know whether I'll be able to pay them back at all .. heh heh
US, UK or Aus??

I'll ask this often repeated question, please bear with me. I'm a law graduate from India with one year litigation experince. I wanted to know from which would it be best country to pursue master in laws from; UK, US or Australia.
I live in Sydney ( I am a medical grad from India who is planning to do the London University external LLM ) but would be dubious about choosing Australia* for a LLM.
My son is doing his LLB in Australia and I will be encouraging him to go to Oxford, Cambridge or Harvard for a BCL/LLM when he finishes (If I can still afford the cost**).
If he does not get into those places, only then would I consider letting him do a LLM locally.
*Admittedly, Sydney University does have a reasonable LLM program. However, it is simply not in the same class as Oxbridge or Harvard.
** The cost at Oxbridge will be very similar to doing it at Sydney. $Harvard$ is rather more expen$ive. :-)
