The Definitive 2011 Cambridge Thread


Good Gosh

yep its frustrating, one of the reasons for this is that the faculty are losing a number of law fellows who are leaving cambridge. [bad] luck of the draw..

Does anyone know whether Professor Christine Gray and Dr Roger O'Keefe are leaving? If so, where are they going?

So why have the above courses been taken off the list for next year if they intend to remain?

On a related note, and I know this is subjective, but does anyone have an opinion on who the "can't miss" lecturers are at Cambridge? In other words, which profs have such a fantastic reputation that it would be silly to go to Cambridge and not take advantage of the opportunity to learn from them?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone received a formal letter via mail yet? I got an acceptance email last month but I still have not received the formal letter. I am concerned about the conditions too as the deadlines for other universities are drawing close.

same story here - I was considering calling Ms. Wade to ask if its normal at least... it is quite important to know what kind of academic conditions are going to be required and how high...

My camsis page has updated, now says Conditional Offer Made and Seeking College Membership. The academic condition is a 1st class honours in my bachelors degree. That said, I've decided to go to Oxford instead

LemonsHerbert, would you mind telling us when you got your email from Miss Wade and when exactly you saw the change on your Camsis?
Therefore, your condition is specified already on Camsis, we dont have to wait for the official letter,right?

Thnx so much

Holly

Cambridge has just released their provisional list of papers to be offered in 2011/12:

http://www.law.cam.ac.uk/press/news/2011/03/publication-of-provisional-lists-of-papers-for-the-tripos-and-llm-examinations-for-2011-2012/1483



Is anyone else dissapointed by the reduction in international law modules this year?

They have dropped International Criminal Law, History and Philosophy of International Law and Law of Armed Conflict without replacing them with other international modules. I know the modules change every year, but I was dissapointed


Wow, I know I'm kind of late to the game in replying to this post, but they really did cut back on the public international law program. Anyone know what's happening to all these professors? Any chance of them getting some new folks? Oh well, I guess if I'm rejected at this point it will take out some of the sting!

I don't know exactly when the camsis webpage changed, I hadn't checked it for about a week, just saw the change today. I got my email on the 17th of February.

I haven't got my bachelor yet, I'm in final year at the moment.

My Camsis page changed as well - First Class condition, no surprises there!

PS. Exciting to see if the college I applied for will take me on, fingers crossed ;)

Thank you for the updates. So, I guess they have not mailed the offering letter out. I do not know what to do now as I am meeting the deadline to accept or decline the offer of another school. If you hear of anything or receive the formal letter, please kindly update. I would appreciate.

I received my email 22nd Febs I think, so you should be getting your update really soon since you must be one of the earliest they emailed with an offer!

Yes, I was disappointed too!!! I definitely need to read for International Criminal Law during my LLM. Is anybody motivated writing some kind email demanding whether it would be possible to put in some more courses of international law? I will write the mail, maybe they will change the courses again, if there are loads of mails coming

Is anyone else dissapointed by the reduction in international law modules this year?

Yes, I was disappointed too, I definitely need to read for International Criminal Law during my LLM. Anybody motivated to write a looong mail asking them to reconsider their course choice? I will write that mail, maybe if we're enough people, it'll work
