I got my acceptance to UT austin today, and I have been trying to read about it

My cousins have moved from San Jose, Ca to Austin< tx recently and they all love it. I was considering doing the same from Toronto, Canada.

I wanted to know how the job oppertunities for a LLM graduate (business specialization) would be, having obtained my LLB from London, UK.

I wanted to specialize in Bankruptcy and restructuring law

thank you

Unless you are admitted to the bar in Texas and also are a permanent resident changes are nil.

The profession in the US is in decline and I am sure (albeit candidates' circumstances may vary) you will have a very hard time if you limit yourself to Austin. A lot of UT JD graduates want to stay in Austin as well but you will find that the market there is very very small.

Then you have immigration issues as well and the fact that law in the US and pretty much in the UK is saturated. You have to compete with US nationals and other green card holders.

This is clearly not to dissuade you but to give you a no "nonsense" approach.

thx for the info...

I'm very interested in the Latin American Studies at UT Austin, but I'll apply for other Univ. also although most of them do not have exactly the same program...
no I'm not perm. resident and I understand it's not easy...
I'll have to give it a shot! thanks a lot.
