Hi everybody,

I submitted my deposit and will attend Columbia next fall. I think it could be a good idea to know each other and exchange different informations (courses, housing...).

I am a French trained lawyer and am interessted in commercial law, international arbitration and trade.

Looking forward to meeting you in NY this fall.

23, Irish, want to specialise in corporate subjects and some intellectual property and litigation. Would like to take Corporations, Deals, Transnational litigation, Mass Tort Litigation, Securities and some intellectual property courses. Ginsberg spoke at my law school last year and she was amazing so would love to do her IP seminars. Starting off that F-1 Visa application thing today and will have to look at housing next. Really hope I get on-campus. Would think it would prohibitively expensive to try and rent around the area.

I am in too. 5-year experienced attorney. from France.

To Eowyn and Black : Why do you want to do an LLM when you have a job ?

UP. Come on, Columbia fellows...

Congratulations on your admission to Columbia, you all!

I am from Japan. My main interest is human rights law, but at the same time, I intend to widen my perspectives through studying private laws.

Hope to meet you soon.

Hi
Does anyone admitted to the CLS 2007 program know how to get the online application for I-20 or other way to get the I-20 form???
I had tried to find relevant info. in the ISSO website, and got nothing.
Any information about this?
Thank u all!!!

Hey tilidie,
I got an e-mail with the link after I paid my deposit. Also got a CUID Number to use on all Housing and Vias forms (instead of a Social Security Number which I dont have). Will send you a private message with the link. Hope this helps.

Hey dear admitted LLMs,

First of all I would like to congratulate you on your admission. Then, I have a suggestion. Last year, I set up a mailing list with several of my LLM fellows that I met on this very forum before leaving for the US. This mailing list is still in use today, and we have about 80% of the LLMs on the list. The list was very useful in the process leading up to the LLM in order to exchange information about the administrative procedures and requirements in an efficient way. During the LLM then, it was great because it gave us a means to communicate instantly with the whole class about upcoming events, and many other things.

I set up this mailing list on Yahoo Groups and am using columbia-llm2006 as list name. Why don't you all set up columbia-llm2007 and make this a tradition from now on?

Again, congratulations on your admission, and best of luck with everything that you have to handle up to when you come to the US.

Thank Dr_Jekyll and eowyn75005. Eowyn75005, I will send you my a PM shortly.

Thanks for setting this up.
Just curious about the start of the semester. I will be an LLM student (US JD). I noticed that registration is in mid-Aug but that the intensive professional responsibility course starts two weeks later. What to do during the 2 weeks in between?

It is with great pleasure and a true joy that I inform you of my admission to the CLS 2007 LL.M.

Zing, Zing, Zing (it's a new word that a future irish classmate tought me - I know I am not using properly, but who cares).

Thanks for the yahoogroups list.

Congratulations, Salomon. Look forward to meeting you at Columbia. ^_*

tgheen,

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. In fact, registration is mid-August, and any non-common-law trained LLM must take the Introduction to US Law course (except if they changed the requirements this year). As a US-trained student you may take it if you want, but I would say it's a waste of (expensive) credits. The only advantage is that you would actually get to know your fellow LLMs.

If you don't take the course, you will indeed start just after Labor Day, i.e. first weekend in September. But I think that there is a special registration for those LLMs thatare not required to take the Intro course.

Hope this answers to your question.
