Hi, I have been admitted to the above programs, but am having a hard time deciding which one is better for starting a career in arbitration (I previously specialised in corporate law).

I want to gain hands-on experience through experiential courses and clinics - so far I have the impression that NYU is the most practice-oriented, UCLA is second in terms of experiential learning of arbitration, and UChicago is a bit more on the theoretical side (with only one course on arbitration).

I would really welcome any input on whether my assumption is correct. Which of the schools provides the strongest training in arbitration?

Hi there, I'm an arbitration lawyer in an international firm. The NYU one, hands down, especially if you are admitted to the arbitration-focused course. I have a colleague who is now practicing in our Miami office and she said the NYU programme is very good.
