Who is going to American? I will be enrolling in the Law & Government Program in the fall. I thought it might be helpful to get to know one another - from either the International Program or Law & Government - before the fall.

Has anyone received the course listing or heard about scholarships or tuition remission?

Welcome to all!

hello people from WCL..

even i have got admission at WCL for my LLM, i need information about
getting jobs after i end my master how easy or difficult is for me?(a
resident from INDIA). I need this information cos I am planning to
apply for a loan and so to know if it is worth taking a loan and
studying in WCL coz at the end of the year I need to get a job inorder
to repay my loan. also need information about the rent of a bedroom
(an estimated), living expenses around WCL, and stuff like that.

Northwestern Unievrsity is very expensive than WCL I am planning to
choose WCL...but want to know more abt teh job prospects in WCL.

Please answer me quicky as teh daedline for paying teh tuition deposit
is fast approaching.

Hi all !
I will be attending WCL International studies LLM this fall !
Living expenses are outstanding in DC ... ie EXPENSIVE.
estimation : 800 $ per month.
Job opportunities are close to nothing.
Glory to American University :-) lol

"Job opportunities are close to nothing"? That doesn't sound too encouraging. Are you talking about opportunities during the semester or upon completion of the program? I'm considering attending in the fall, but do not want to give up my steady paycheck and fork over a year of tuition if it is going to be difficult to find employment in a year. Does anyone have any knowledge about job placement rate/data? Thanks,
Taylor

it seems we a all concerned about job placement opportunities at american. are you a domestic international llm? i think the job picture is different depending on whether you are a foreign for domestic lawyer. i am asking the placement staff about this, please hold on.

I was talking for foreign lawyer hence for the international legal studies program.
If you are a domestic lawyer my comment was irrelevant .
Sorry about that :-(
but if you are a foreigner performing LLM program is not enough to secure a job in a law firm.

Has anyone gotten any word on scholarships? What about information on orientation?

Guys,
AU offers some scholarships contrary to Georgetown. For the ILSP program, there are two big scholarships offered every semester for contribution to the advancement of the rule of law, you should ask Irene Moyer more information. Also AU offers tuition remission, it can go from 2-8 credits and I can ensure you that it helps.

Hello,

Does anyone have any information on the job prospects for domestic international law llms? I just talk to one of the placement staff and she told me that you basically have the network real hard during you llm, there is no formal recruiting (granted the pool of domestic llms is not big enough for there to be one), and llm itself will not secure you a job. she added that the networking and internship opportunity at au is substantial.
