Hi,
I'm an American who recently applied to NYU's LLM in International Legal Studies. I know that the majority of Americans at NYU are in the tax program. However, that's not what I am interested in. I contacted NYU's admission office about the International Legal Studies program to try to find out if any Americans were actually in this program, but they wouldn't say yes or no. (they encouraged me to apply though)
My question is do any of you know if Americans are in the program, and if there are, do you know what admissions criteria NYU looks at? (i.e. top 20 percent of JD class, top third, etc.)
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Personally, I don't know any Americans that took the International Legal Studies LLM, but I guess there might be. Actually, NYU has launched a 4-year JD/International Legal Studies LLM program available only to NYU JDs... Why don't you send an email to the Directors of the ILS LLM? They might clarify this issue.

Thanks for the reply Ivan. I contacted the admissions office and they said that they "do not keep statistics about the countries of origin of the students in each individual LLM program." I basically laughed when I read that. What law school doesn't keep statistics about it's students?
Oh well. I applied, so we'll see.

Hey there -
I've been contemplating the same thing you are....I have no idea what type of students are enrolled for the International Legal Studies program and how helpful it is for career development. Have you heard anything new since ? I've found the LLM admissions office to be really unhelpful and they give you proforma answers. Can I ask what you are interested in (in terms of the program at NYU) and what you do now?
I'm thinking about applying to the LLM program but not finding enough resources to see if it is the right fit - I'm basically trying to specialize in international litigation and transactions.
Appreciate your comments and thoughts!

I am an American student and I plan to apply to NYU's LLM program in int'l law. So, I guess there are a couple of us who are interested. I plan to teach law later on and would like to teach int'l law.

You are correct. Their admissions people suck really bad.
As for me, I'm interested in International law in general. I'm on the international law journal at my school, and I've done Jessup, however, I've only been able to take one international law class because I've been worried about getting my "bar courses" out of the way. The main reason I want to study at NYU is to complete my "international law" education. (so to speak)
I'm a 3L right now, and NYU is the only LLM program I've applied to. (or even considered, with the exception of Georgetown, however, I didn't like that you have to get a general LLM if you're a domestic student there) I will likely just work at a firm in the fall if I don't get in.
Good luck to you. Hopefully the domestic applicants will hear something in March.

Howdy sir,
I'm an alumni of FSU law and I was accepted into NYU@NUS for the upcoming year. I have found out whom about 20 of my 40 classmates are and so far Im the only American. NYU does accept US citizens into all of its programs sans one specifically designed for foreign applicants. The # they accept into any of their LL.M. Programs is very small however, except for their tax program. In response to your questions about qualifications, they generally want their LL.M. students to have had work experience, usually a minimum of two years. They also generally look for someone who did extremely well in law school, though the top 20% at FSU would be adequate with very good recommendations and resume. I found you have to lobby for it though, like you are running for political office. The people to get to advocate for you at FSU are Sandy DAlemberte, Fernando Teson, and possibly Dodge. They also appear to be looking for folks who have been published. (Every person in my program, according to their online profiles, has been published at least twice in legal periodicals). I hope this is helpful. If for some reason you are not successful this year, I would strongly consider trying again. Right now NYU offers the #1 program in International Law, and as someone who now has access to an NYU Home account which lets me use their research/academic/social/career databases--I mean, just WOW! I have never seen student resources even remotely approaching what they offer. The NYULawDem club had to REPOST an advertisement for a paid summer legal internship with the US Senate Judiciary Committee! I really cant begin to explain how over-the-top it is. Very worth putting up with curt staff and major debt!
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
