Hi guys!

I was accepted by Cambridge (Darwin College), Oxford (St Catherine's College) and LSE to read law at postgraduate level. I am especially interested in Public Law (comparative public law, administrative law, environmental law, energy law etc) and European Public Law. I would like also to attend lectures on arbitration (commercial), Which University offers the best LLM concerning these matters? It is really difficult for me to choose. Should anybody have info, please help!

hey irishguy, any word on commercial equity?? how is it? have you heard whether it is tough, the exam is fasiretc... Also, any word on corporate governance?

ED: I search on the website of the Law Faculty of Cambridge and I found that the subject paper "Corporate Governance" will not be available for 2007/2008.
I am disappointed with this decision because I planned to attend this course in Cambridge next semester due to my previous interest in Corporate Governance.
It seems that the papers available will focus more on International Public Law.
So, I am thinking about going to LSE, which seems more "business oriented".

Hi!
Where did you find that "Corporate Governance" will not be taught for 2007-2008? I took a quick peek at llm site but i didn't find the relevant information...

Please see:

I sent an e-mail to the Secretary of LLM about this matter, but I have received no information.

The list seems to be provisional. Hopefully so, as I see that it doesn't include also International Sales, to which I was looking forward :(

Hi!

Did you attend "EC Trade Law"? If yes, did you find it interesting and worthwhile? Does this course presuppose very good foundations and deep knowledge of european trade law? I am asking because trade law is not my cup of tea and because during my internship I have handled, in principle, cases of administrative law...
Should this course be offered for 2007-2008, the part of Energy Law will be included again? or every academic year offered EC Trade Law, the faculty changes this part of the course?

What's your opinion concerning "Contemporary Issues in the Law of European Integration" and "Law and Practice of Civil Liberties?

Pardom me for so many questions, but I find you well informed!!

I am looking forward to your response!

Hi!

Whenever you hear from the Secretary concerning the list of courses to be offered for 2007-2008, please, keep us informed.

Thanks in advance!

I asked Irishguy about the Civil Liberties class. I'll post what he wrote so he doesn't have to write it again.

He first said that Civil Liberties may be boring then said:

I should probably qualify my Civil Liberties comments with the fact that it is an open book exam based entirely on essay questions. The incredibly boring guy who teaches some of it and wrote the book on the subject was made head of the law faculty and a judge in some international court or tribunal or whatever they call those things that deal with bad things that happen when a government goes postal on its own people. So, I'm not sure how much teaching he will be doing. He seemed to only deal with a few topics and then the other people who came in were quite engaging. It's just that he taught the majority this year. Anyway, the comments I heard wouldn't have warranted me giving a recommendation NOT to do it. It just wouldn't be at the top of my list. I would advise attending lectures for anything you are interested in for a few weeks anyway. My comments are quite subjective and apart from the subjects I did (Banking, Restitution, International Sales and Competition) are based on the rants from people I know, so again VERY subjective.

I would like to know the number of activities during a given week in Cambridge and in Oxford. Are there back-up classes? In a singular subject paper, how many times do we have to go to the Faculty of Law in order to attend lectures or seminars? In Oxford (considering the same subject paper), are there any weeks in which we have lectures/tutorials, seminars/tutorials and lectures/seminars/tutorials?
Irishguy24: Did you present the dissertation? And your classmates? What do you think about this option?
Demetrius: I sent a message to the Secretary of the LLM Program and I haven't received any information yet. Where are you from and where do you plan to attend?

I was informed by the Secretary of the LLM Program that Corporate Governance will "almost certainly" not be available next semester.

Hi!

I am from Greece. you?
Public law (seminar) - which entails dissertation -, Law and Practice of Civil liberties, EC Trade law, International enviromental law, Contemporary Issues in the Law of European Integration are the subjects, which mainly draw my interest. You?

See: http://www.law.cam.ac.uk/courses/llm/the_llm_curriculum.php".....The course list for 2007-08 is available in either Word or PDF format" (end of second paragraph). Thus, the list you refered to is not provisional! Unfortunately Corporate Governance is not included..

Best wishes!
Demetrius

I'm from Brazil. I'd like to attend Corporate Governance, Corporate Finance Law, Commercial Equity and International Banking and Financial Law. However, Corporate Governance was the most important subject to me. Due to this, I'm considering the possibility to accept either Oxford (MJur) and attend the BA course of Company Law or LSE. I'm totally confused!

forever:

Hi
I am totally confused too! Like you, I was accepted by Oxford and LSE as well! Which LSE Residence offered you a place? I was offered a place at Lilian Knowles House. And I was accepted by St Catherine's College, Oxford. u?

Name?
