Im a trainee lawyer in Greece and im looking forward of attending an LLM programm in financial law
I have 2 offers : from CITY LAW SCHOOL
GLASGOW
which law school is better.i would like to be in london but glasgwo law school seems much better..

glasgow... without any doubt!!!

are you going to glasgow too?

Depends on what you want to study really. even though a completely objective view would be that city law school is much better than glascow. Due to its connections to the inns of court + the fact that it probably offers the best BPTC course makes it even better since this means that modules are taught mainly by practitioners. While Glascow...I have never heard anyone saying that Glascow has a good law school, especially for post-grad :s

forgot to note, it depends what are your plans, if you want to go back to greece then either is good enough, as they are well-repute universities, but if you want to stay in the uk then city will be the best option.

Ok i have to say thats not accurate. Glasgow law school is ranked at the top ten in uk every year . City law school is somewhere near 60th place . Its also important that GLS is one of the oldest in the world . City was a technichal schools till the last century . I think the only better thing about city is london .

Glasgow without a doubt. In the UK rankings matter. City is good for connections if you already have connections. Traditional law schools are much appreciated, especially the Russell Group ones.

I don't know if you have studies in the uk etc BUT talking about traditional law schools implying that glascow is such it seems you are have not done your research, russel group ukiversities are not necesarilly the best, it's all a matter of politics, it is for this reason RG unis will always be on top in the rankings, which are completele inaccurate. City law school a few years back was known as the inns of court school, its courses are taught by practitioners and legal experts and not simply by academics.
So saying that city law school is not traditional shows lack of knowledge and research.

Furthermore, another point everyone seems to miss out, if you want to work in england then studying in scotland would NOT be advices as english and wales law is different from scots law + of scotlamd gains its independence then they won't even e governed by eu law.

I know GU is a russel group uni thats y i chose it

I have an LLM and a PhD from UK institutions, if that matters to you.
I am well versed in both Scottish and English legal systems, and I am familiar with how LLM courses are taught in Scotland. Scottish law is different mainly in private law matters (property, family etc) which an LLM student will not encounter, whereas the differences, where they exist, are always mentioned in class.

Well then it makes matter even worse as you are not aware of the facts i have just mentioned + you cited a wikipedia link. . . And you do not attempt to afdress, in any way the matters i have raised

Lucas, if you take some time to actually read my comments in all the threads you will see that i am trying my est to help people on this site and you should 'bother' to take a look at the attitude the person i responded to had toward me. A person who is in fact greek and has probably never been to england before. I am greek myself but i have been living in england for quite a few years! Also on another note, rankings are NOT accurate, everyone aknowledges this, coty is not high in the rankings because it is quite new as 'city law school' therefore it is very hard for a very new school to be high in the rankings! If you bother to search who is teaching in city you will realise that some of the most well known academics and practitioners teach there! And i will ask you something i have asked quite a few times but no one has managed to actually respond to this: what if someone wants to practice in england? How would an llm from scotland enhance his employability?? Legal system is different + will not be governed by eu if they get their independence through the referendum in september

No i am not studying there. .commercial law is not the same especially when talking about contracts etc and commercial arbitration! You are probably not aware of this but as i said earlier the city law school, in its current form, is quite new, it was know as the inns of court school of law!

I will be doing my bptc at city, i did my llb in manchester, and i have offers for an llm from some of the top ranked universities so i have no reason to support city other than the favt that it is actually better than glasgow! Also, in business related LLMs city is excellent as (you are probably not aware of this) cass business school is considered as one of the best business schools in the world!

Hahah, say whatever you want pal. . .you have do understand that there are to paths in law: practice and academia! If you want to actually practice then you have to pick a course which is taught by PRACTITIONERS! And this is City! You have a complete lack of knowledge when it comes to the actual reputation of a university as you base your opinion 100% om rankings!
