Is anybody going to Chicago-Kent? I heard it's a good Law School with great lecturers. What do you think?

I have been the Chicago-Kent Law and it is a good school.. although it is located in downtown chicago so you wont get much of a campus

I just got admitted and i was offered a partial tuition scholarship.I ask myself if it's the right School for me to get my LLM and what are the chances of me getting a great job with a nice paycheck.

You Know the School you attend greatly influences the job you get.

I think it is a decent law school to get your LL.M. at, especially if you want to pursue a career in International IP (they have good IP resources and interesting professors). At the present time, Chicago-Kent is No. 3 law school in the Chicago area.

Re: job opportunities - it all depends on your credentials + work experience. I know at least 5 lawyers who graduated from Chicago-Kent and are doing pretty well now.

i hav a question for you chicagogirl....the lawyers u know of who have passed out frm chicago kent...were they foreign lawyers? r u aware whtehr chicago kent offers 2 yrs JD Program for international Lawyers or for that matter any unversity besides NW and what are the realistic chances of getting a job and work permit after for a foreign student with llm/JD from US with decent grades?

Hi. I am a new student in the class of 2007 of Chicago-Kent. I am wondering where is the good place to live. Students dorm or apartment outside the campus?

i am also at kent and we can hlp each other

Around the Chi-Kent have several apartments such as, Presidential Towers but it 's quite expensive.

I'd recommend Canterbury Court, 1220 N.State Pwky. Chicago IL60610. It's Downtown Chicago, just 1.5 miles from the law school. You will enjoy the beautiful scenery of Michigan lake and, if you'd like, night life street is just a block away. A studio is $1,000 a month and no minimum leasing contract required (2 people is $1,075). You will love it, I guarantee. Further information just visit www.canterburycourtapartments.com

Hi All!!

I am Planning to apply for LLM-2008 at Chicgo -Kent...can anyone please suggest which course has more scope..LLM in financial Services or LLM in IP..

Please guide me on the admission procedure as well..

Looking forward to hear from you all..

the admission procedure is defined on their website as well. However,the market value of LL.M in financial services is comparatively larger than that of IP.

If you are an LL.M. from Asia, Europe or Brazil you have great chances of getting a job after graduating from your program. If you are from any other place your chances will be less as there is no demand from them currently. I know people from Australia, South Africa, Chile and Morocco attending top 6 law schools in the US are having trouble to get positions... My pragmatic advise if you are looking forward to work in the US go to a top 10 law school and your chances will certainly be greater than if you attend a top 25 law school...

Thanks!!

hey can u provide top law schools for LLM.in US..n How is the chicago Kent...?

You can click link "most popular law school" to see initially 25 top law schools.
I am a Thai lawyer graduated LL.M. from Chicago kent and think that it's a good law school, though not that popular. It's almost 100 years old law school with alums working through out the country and world wide. LL.M. in IP is very interesting. prof. Dinwoodie is the program's director.

Any first tier law school is a good law school...
