Hi Tristan,
One additional question regarding your kind advice:
How easy (or hard) is to make it to Vermont and L&C? Considering they are not top-ranked.

thanks!

Hi vlml,
I plan to apply to NYU, Chicago, CLS, Upenn etc. Does anybody have any views on Fordham, Duke, Northwestern LLM programs ?

MagnumOpus, I dont much about Fordham and Duke, but heard good things about NW, especially LLM/Kellog. It should be great if you're interested in business/corporate. I can't apply because from what I've heard it starts in June, and I can't leave Brazil before the end of July.

Hey folks!

I am a final year student of law from India, willing to pursue a LL.M in either Litigation and Dispute Resolution or Human Rights Law. My GPA is average - 8 on 10 and I have a few internships at various courts too, coupled with extensive working experience of 2 years with a major pan India NGO working in the field of education and my own NGO which works towards spreading legal awareness and providing free legal aid.

Now, there are two major questions I have -

1. Which are the universities that I might get an admission in ?

2. How much does working with non-profit organisations count in application for LL.M ?

Hi
I am planning to pursue an LLM in International Dispute Resolution, my main focus is on New York. I am a graduate from a National Law University with 4 years experience in Litigation and Corporate sector. What are my options for the same. Is Fordham a good option? what are my chances of making it to Fordham?

Are you sure about that? My friend got an admit in NW for this year and he said the course starts in August.

I read about LLM/Kellog's classes starting mid-June on NW's website. Maybe its just for Kellog, do you know which in program he enrolled?

Hi guys,

I've started a blog about applying for LLM programs in the US and my experiences at Columbia (see http://llmstudent.aussieblogs.com.au/) It talks about personal statements, etc - hopefully you'll find it useful!

Hey guys. I am trying for an LLM at UPenn. Would like some feedback on my chances of admission.

I am a law undergraduate undertaking an LLB in a London University. I am maintaining a 65% average across all my year 1 and 2 modules which is a good second-upper degree classification. I recently undertook internships with Reed Smith LLP and Norton Rose Fulbright LLP and PrimePartners Corporate Finance. I am President of the Squash Society and am Pro-Bono Officer of the Law Society Committee. I have 3 good Letters of Recommendation and am now working on my personal statement for Penn.

I would really appreciate it if you guys could perhaps advise me on my chances and if there is anything I could do to improve them.

Does anyone know about this new Environmental Program at Stanford? I want the right balance between a strong specialized program and a top-ten.

I got a Certificate in Environmental Law in conjunction with my LLM at Duke. If you want brand name school + good environmental law program, that is the place to be. The advantage of doing an LLM at Duke is that you can have easy access to classes, seminars and internship opportunities at the Nicholas School of the Environment. If you're interested in a career in energy, oil companies always hire at the Fuqua School of Business and when I was there, Shell also made a presentation at Nicholas. Lots of opportunity to network. You could also serve as a Student Attorney on Duke's Environmental Law and Policy Clinic to gain exposure to litigation and policy work. Moreover, the environmental law faculty at Duke are absolutely superb, and they offer cool classes like Food and Agricultural Law.

Hey guys,
I wanted to know a little bit about the faculty and specialities of the following schools with respect to LLM in Antitrust laws :
1. Berkeley
2. NYU
3. Columbia
4. UPenn
5. UChicago

Does anybody have any views, suggestions? Any other school you'd like to suggest?

Chicago and NYU have really good antitrust professors and a great selection of antitrust courses. Columbia has a more limited range of courses. I recommend looking at the courses they offer on their websites to get a feel for each of the places.
