Hi all. I am interested in corporate law, and am wondering which of these LLMs has the best reputation with Big Law in the US.
Also, seeing as how LLMs do not benefit from the same ranking visibility as JD programs, which one is best suited for corporate law?

Thanks!

I did and I got in to chicago!
Still waiting on NYU and Northwestern-Kellogg to decide, but definitely very excited about Chicago!

Harvard is definetely the best school for corporate law, but that was way out of reach for me. Among the "reachable" schools, I believe that Columbia and Chicago are the bests in corporate law, followed by NYU. I believe the choice between Chicago and COlumbia is the hardest one for those interested in corporate law.... I also believe that Northwestern/Kellog is best suited for those who seek a business training in addition to the legal courses.

Did you apply this year?

Why do you say Harvard was way out of reach for you and that Columbia and Chicago are more reachable? Tks!

I strongly recommend you to choose for Northwestern LLM/K. It's a great program, 12-month long, and the only one that affords you to take courses in management

a LLM in NYC is even more expensive, if you keep in mind life expenses... is it worth it? great question; unfortunately I can't tell... depends on what have you have done before, your future expectations, your nationality (that in turn reflects on your chances of being hired by a law firm and/or an international organization), and so on... if you expect to calculate inputs and outputs for the money you put into the master's program, you may not have an answer that fits your expectations regardless of what school you will end up attending...
I'm a former Northwestern LLM (not the LLM/K though), and now a PhD student. Upon graduation, it bears saying, I went back to my country and practised for almost 2 years as criminal lawyer

life in Chicago is significantly cheaper than in NYC. This is not to say that it might be as cheap as living in Durham, if you happen to choose Duke...
To answer your question, working as a lawyer in many fields of the law, whether corporate or securities, bank or business law, may request and therefore encourage an in-depth knowledge of economics and/or management issues. No LLM program among those that you mentioned affords you to gain such knowledge. GT has a strong certificate program, but to my knowledge you can't take courses outside of the law school.Usually the LLM/K is compared to the UPenn Law program with a certificate from Wharton. Neither UChicago nor NYU do have similar programs
