Hi guys:

1-I am planning to build a career in international arbitration. I would like to know which courses I should take. Ive already built my own list of courses but I would like to know what you guys think. Feel free to pick the courses you think are important. (see list below)

2-When I apply to law firms, should I tell them I just want international arbitration? Or it is better to write in my cover letter I am interested in Private International Law in general, and in international alternative dispute resolution, litigation, mediation...?

3- Is international arbitration a good choice when it comes to job market, money...? and why do some people to decide to do an LL.M. in international taxation? Shall I be considering to take a course in international taxation?
