Hey, guys. I got offers from the Ohio State Univ and Pittsburgh University of the International Law. But I am confused. Which one do you think is better? Please tell me your opinions? Thank you for your help.

Hi,

I am graduating from Pitt Law this year:) so I would, for sure, recommend you to go to Pitt. It is a very small LLM programm (15 people only) but the quality of education is pretty high, especially if you want to specialize in international commercial law and international trade law. Profs. Flechtner and Prof. Brand are well recongnized scholars in area of CISG (Vienna Convention of Sales of Goods). You can find a lot of articles written by them in www.cisg.com and www.unilex.com

BTW, I have just received my offer from NY Big 4 company with the support of "internship program" of PITT Law.

Good luck with your decision!!!

Hi enyasong,

I`ve got an admission from Pitt Uni too.I`ve heard a lot about this program from my friends and they strongly recommended it to me.
What Uni have you chosen?

Hi, Liyastar

Could you please tell smth more about Internship program for LLM participants. I didn`t find any information about it in http://www.law.pitt.edu/academics/cile. Is it the same to Foreign internships for JD students? What is it duration and dates during academic year, cost?Is it possible for foreign lawyer to practice law in NY company just with LLM degree?
I would be very grateful for your answer.

I don't know a lot about Pitt's LLM program -- but I can tell you I've heard really good think about Ohio State. Because its a relatively new program, it is still small (maybe 10 students?) and the students say that they get a lot of personal attention. But Ohio State as a whole has a big international student population, so it also dosen't feel so isolating. I'm going to Ohio State!
