I'm interested in arbitration/litigation (work experience in this field) and got admitted to CLS and NYU (for the LL.M. in International Business Regulation, Litigation and Arbitration). Where shall I go? Any input (esp. regarding my field of interest) would be appreciated. I have to decide until this Monday. Thanks.

i don't know anything about nyu's strengths in arbitration/litigation, but i would say that this is not a particular strength of columbia next year, with berman going on sabbatical and there being no other regular lecturer on this topic.

columbia is much better than nyu.

NYU of course.

Any more information why NYU or why Columbia? Thanks

i'm from columbia, so if i were to specialize in arbitration/litigation this year, i would have picked the ffg classes:
- transnational arbitration & litigation -- berman
- international commercial arbitration -- lee
- investment law & arbitration - bekker
- deals litigation - two profs
- and maybe throw in a class on corporation - 4 profs
- mass torts - ohlemeyer
- corporate law litigation - coffee
- Construction Industry Law: Transactional Practice, Dispute Avoidance and Resolution - quintas & rubin
- Big Case: Tactics and Strategy
the problem is, berman is on leave next year, lee is a visiting prof. so two core classes might not have a regular prof next year. there will probably still be a prof, but you're not sure who it will be. but of course, columbia has substantial offerings on litigation and arbitration.
