Anyone able to give an insight? A comparison against New York would be more useful.

Thank you!

It depends on where you want to work post-LLM. Do you want to be in CA?

Sorry my last post was incomplete-here is a comparison against NY.

If you want to work in New York post-LLM, according to a partner at a top NYC firm whom I spoke to, an LLM from a NY school will serve you much better.

I think what you are asking is whether it will serve you better to go to a CA school for the LLM if you are looking for work in CA. First, are you an international student? If so, then if you go to USC or UCLA you should be fine in Los Angeles, or Boalt or Stanford if you want to be in San Francisco. It's much easier to find work locally, no matter where you go to law school -- it's easier to network, easier to interview, easier to tap into the local alumni base. That said, if you go to a school like Harvard/Yale/NYU for example and do well, you should have absolutely no problem coming into the CA market.

Now, if you're talking about a tax LLM or something like that, I would recommend going to the best program you can get into, no matter where you want to work.
