Hi folks,

According to you, which one has the bigger international reputation ? Which one would you choose between these 2 universities ?

I'd say Trinity...by the way i'm still wainting for a decision concerning my application...have u already been admitted to TCD?

Hi marco,

Not yet. But I have received an unoconditionnal offer from Edinburgh for the LLM in Commercial Law.

Trinity said "decision within 6-8 weeks from reception of the application file"...

My professor, who wrote me the reference letter and who is a partners of the Lovells office in Milan, advised me to send application to London colleges or Trinity College...so i think Trinity has a good reputation, at least in Italy.....but frankly, i can say u just that...

Cmq, grazie per il tuo parere ;p Fammi sapere al più presto per quanto riguarda la decisione di Trinity...

ah sei italiano? quanti anni hai? io sono un pò dubbioso sul fatto se sia utile fare un LL.M. prima di iniziare il praticantato...qualunque italiano vogli consigliarmi è ben accetto!!!

Mi spiace ma sono francese... Ho studiato a Bologna e vorrei fissarmi in Italia dopo.

Difficile risponderti a 'sto punto xche da voi, il sistemo per divenire avvocato è molto diverso dal nostro. Ma mi sembra un po difficile ricomminciare a studiare dopo 3 anni di pratica. Che ne pensi ?

A presto !

it seems like not a lot of people are interested about Trinity:-)

Come to Edinburgh! It's a great city, it's one of the friendliest uni's around, it's got it all, the courses are great, it enjoys a great reputation world-wide and it's where I live!

Warning: this message is complete with extreme bias on account of me currently working in the School of Law and living in Edinburgh ;-)

Hi Malk!

I would recommend Edinburgh. I have been there for a couple of days in 2005. It is a gorgeous city! The reputation of the university is excellent. It is among the best 50 universities of the world (http://ed.sjtu.edu.cn/rank/2005/ARWU2005TOP500list.htm).

I will join the Commercial Law Programme. Let's meet there in September!


Bye Mathias

Hi folks,

According to you, which one has the bigger international reputation ? Which one would you choose between these 2 universities ?

Malk, I wonder... are you closer to making your selection?

Hi Marco,

It's quote common for people to choose to do an LL.M after they have spent a few years in practice. In some ways this may be a wiser choice as you will have had time to see how far you can progress without an LL.M. It may be that your preferred field in academia is not the one you would wish to practice, so having some experience behind you before choosing an LL.M may work to your advantage.

Distance learning is also an valid option for postgrads now, so I only imagine that there will be even more choice available in a few years time. The main advantage here is that you could remain in your job while you are studying for your LL.M.

There's nothing wrong with getting the specialism now of course! It's an increasingly tough market for employees to find work, so anything that gives you a competitive advantage will likely see you land a job that's closer to your ideal.

Closer... and further : I now got an offer from... the UEFA :-S

Hey Marco,

Now you have your TOEFL score, are you closer to make a decision ?

Regards

my professor advised me to go for the LL.M. cause it would be very helpful in order to enter a big international law firm here in italy...at the same time i have an interview for an english law firm here in milan next week....so, if they'll take me, i'll stay here to work....if not, i hope to get an offer from TCD (my first choice) and if'll get ti, i'll go for the LL.M.:-)
what about u?

You probably meant "my prof. adives me not to go for the LLM".

It's almost the same here : I have an interview with the UEFA next week. In case of a interesting proposition, I will have to think about it...

Let me know about your interview ;p

Hi Malk in Black,
I'd recommend TCD, didn't apply for anything else but Trinity. Made up my mind long ago!Just join us!
