I think that's a bit harsh!!! They are good universities...and I dont think they're a waste of time!!They may not be the best, but certainly not a waste of time, and they are quite good here. Oh well...I guess it's your opinion.....

An Australian perspective:

Tier 1
Oxford
Cambridge

Tier 2
LSE

Tier 3
UCL
KCL

As for the others, Warwick, Durham, Manchester and the ilk have almost no mind share here. I would rather go to the US and do a LLM at Chicago than waste my time going to the UK to attend Warwick or Durham.


I'd have to agree with that ... almost. Although, I think Durham and Manchester might be okay. Warwick is unknown here - better off at Birmingham, Bristol, Sheffield or Essex, or, (for Europe) Lund, Stockholm, Leiden etc. These schools have very good reps down under.

Certainly Edinburgh has a top notch rep - only behind Oxford, Cambridge, UCL and LSE (and maybe Kings). These schools have world class reps.

Sayaks - This is my opinion so get over it and move on.

The reputation of schools are vital knowledge for people who need to travel from, say, Australia to Europe (take a year off and who knows how much in tuition and living expenses after financial aid). This is a very important decision and i'm going to give my honest opinion and debate it so I myself am conviced I am applying to the best schools.

Dont forget, on every letter, on your business card, there will be this: LLM (*******).

And if I doesnt help me in my career in Australia, why should I care ? I would not want to waste a year and an absolute fortune doing a LLM at Manchester or Warwick if I can go to Chicago instead. Heck, even a LLM from Sydney Uni would probably be of more use to me than a LLM from Warwick. Sydney Uni is highly regarded locally while Warwick is a virtual unknown.

My eventual goal is the BCL at Oxford, the LLM at Harvard or Yale or if I dont make the grade, the LLM at Cambridge or Chicago. At the moment, I am merely a wet behind the years, second year LLB in Australia, student who is about to start the BA (Jurisprudence ) at Oxford in a few months.

Fair enough, I see your point: In Australia Warwick, Durham etc are not recognised and as such you feel it would be a waste of your time. I just dont think it's universal. So lets conclude that an LLM at Warwick etc is useless in Australia.(bold and underlined) :-)

Provocations galore....

Australia's size is the same as a big state in India.Who cares a fig about a uni's reputation in Australia?
Do something all you Aussies.Contact an American(a fairly knowledgeable one and not of your ilk) and ask him about Warwick and then see what he has to say.

And if you guys did not know,a uni is considered to have good reputation if it is higly regarded in USA.No one cares about Australia and the pereception of students out there.

The world is not restricted and influenced by "down south".

Eat and digest this.

Yes, and where are the Indian universities ranked? Where do all the major asia-pacific firms have their head offices? An Australian firm is the largest firm in Asia!.

Our firms know international reputations.

I do. I plan to come back here. Further, it also exemplifies the international reputation and glitz of certain universities.

I think Australia is underestimated. Look at The Times (THES) university rankings - um, any Indian universities?

Australia is also significantly globalised and its universities have links to many overseas institutions.

Further, I have had a chat with a visiting American professor who suggests the opposite of what you say.

Sayak, stop trying to elevate Warwick's reputation. It has no historical prestige, nor is it reflected well in the international rankings or league tables (given the emphasis in the US on rankings, use your imagination on what a US alwyer would say). Get over it. It may be a top notch course that produces the best lawyers in the universe but the fact remains it has no prestige - a top tier firm will not be drawn in by it.

Hope you guys are enjoying this ;)

1."Sayaks, Stop your ridiculous trolling for Warwick.. U R embarrassing yourself man..seriously."(Runkebulle)

2."Sayak, stop trying to elevate Warwick's reputation."(Capa)

I have never ever even remotely attempted to elevate Warwick's reputation beyond what it deserves.I have always tried to provide prospective LLM students with a broader perspective which is not restricted to TIER 1 unis (and I quote assorted individuals here).A good and prestigious institution does not need to be endorsed by specific individuals to retain its glory.

"It may be a top notch course that produces the best lawyers in the universe but the fact remains it has no prestige - a top tier firm will not be drawn in by it. "(Capa)

Capa these questions are specifically aimed at you.Have you ever come down to UK?Have you ever studied in a reputed insitution in UK?Have you interacted with the best law firms in UK(which in my humble opinion have a far more international presence than the Australian law firms in general)?

Kazaf might agree with me when I say that the best law firms in UK flock to the Warwick campus to recruits law students from here.
And if you ever do come down to UK never ever(and I repeat) never ever,venture to open your big Heineken guzzling mouth to suggest that Warwick lacks prestige lest others think that you generally shoot from your arse.

My comparsion of the size of an Indian state with the size of Australia was subjective but it seems to have tickled your nationalistic fervour to such an extent that you have not stopped from rambling about the ranking of Indian unis.Dude,neither my back is turned against reality nor do I shy away from accepting the truth(however might harsh it be).
If you ever intend to argue in a real court-room(which is vastly different from engaging in a virtual warfare) then please do stick to the facts of the case and points under consideration lest you are rebuked by the presiding judge.


"ps. Comparing a banana state to Australia tells us that you are running out of arguments.."

Runkebulle if I could, I would definitely have wanted to peek into your mind and see which fibres are missing.Your comment is so misconstrued that commenting on it would equate to humiliating myself.

Turning to Cafa, have you ever heard of something called The Russell Group?Why do I have to keep on reminding you to be thorough with your research( and that means turning your eyes away from the TIMES ranking,albeit a while) before hurrying to type a reply?

With temperatures soaring this summer, particularly in southern Australia, snakes are on the move.

People are being warned to keep their eyes open out in the paddock, especially in areas hit by bushfires, with snakes forced from their usual habitat.

Maria Dovey from Reptile Rescue Tasmania has these words of advice.

"Any people who are regularly outdoors, whether they be camping, bush walking, people who're on the land working, they must always carry at least two bandages with them and a mobile phone," she said.

"The worst thing you can do, regardless of having bandaged, is walk out. You stay put. Moral of the story is, bandage and wait, someone's going to come for you sooner or later."

LOL! God this thread is so funny! What started out as an astute debate has turned into right bitch fest! It seems that Sayak is taking on everybody; and by posting threads such as 'stuck in Warrick' himself also. But I am going to come to the assistance of our prickly Indian friend. He is right in saying that Warwick is a top institution in the UK. Anyone from the UK will tell you that. It boasts some of the best academics in the country such as Garry Watt and Graham Muffatt. In which case, cut the guy some slack!

I also think the tone of some of the posts has been rude and has warranted some of his belligerent responses. Is there really any need to wind our friend up so much? It can't be good for his health.

Sayaks - time to get a grip.

Like I have said before, we're talking about INTERNATIONAL reputation.

I am not going to reply to any more of your ridiculous arguments - if indeed they can be called arguments. Your constant bickering lacks credibility and exemplifies your purspose is to simply elevate the reputation of the institution for your own self gratification.

Do not, I REPEAT, do not talk crap like this because some young law students might read these forums with interest and be persuaded by biased comments.

Oh, and keep taking my bate - as you say, you are the king of litigation (pfft yeah right!). Your skills are well apparent here.

Anyway, enough said. Warwick lacks INTERNATIONAL reputation. Case closed. All rise and order in the forum.

Talking crap is what you have a masters in,not me.Read my posts in sequence and try to glean out the point I am trying to make.

Your replies are insipid and off the mark and at times higly obnoxious.But unlike you I do not attempt to forclose an argument by writing in blocks and trying to act smart.(But then that is an Australian trait,ai'nt it?)
