Hello there,

I am interested in pursuing a career in international law and arbitration.

In this regard, I am looking for good law schools.

Thus, I want to express that I want to start this year but the most important schools like duke, austin, columbia, nyu, etc do not accept application for this year. Therefore I looked for schools that accept applications for this year and I´ve found these ones:

Tulane University
Houston Law School
Boston University
Fordham
Miami University

What do you think? Are these goods law schools for what I have in mind? I want to know specifically regarding the internship and practice during the course and, of course, the job opportunities aftermath. Which one do you think is the best?

Thank you for your suggestions and comments

Apart from the questions above, I want to express several doubts I have. Look, I already have an LLM in International Law and Arbitration from a German Law School. However, I haven´t found the kind of opportunities I want in order to pursue a career related to international litigation and international affairs.

In this regard, I have the idea that common law qualified lawyers are more regarded than their european counterparts, partly because I see that some vacancies in the international stage are aimed mostly to these kind of lawyers. That´s why I look for an LLM in a common law jurisdiction.

I want to ask if my guess is right or not. And if not, what opportunities or chances shall I look for?

And also I want to know which between UK or US is the best to pursue a career in international law.

Thanks a lot for your comments again people.
