Hi, folks. Just new here, direct from Brazil and intending to course a LL.m in USA or, as a second choice, in UK. Hope you have some patience with me because i've got a lot of doubts.
Firts one, here it comes: What would be a good LL.m specialized in environmental law that has, as well, enphasis in use of land or, maybe, built environmental, think i can call it this way.
Even if the LL.M is not specific for environmental and use of land, such the general LL.m offered by the most of the university, would be very worthy if you could give me the information about colleges or universities where i can find many options of courses that match my preferences to environmental and use of land. P.s. I work for my local government, basically making use of environmental an use of lan Law. Hey, i should say that since 1998 i don't study the English language, i must work hard in order to you guys be able to understand me or, even more important, to make through the Toefl exam.
Thanks.

Hi, Everton, the University of Florida has an LL.M. in Environmental and Land Use. Look them up. Good Luck!!!!

Thanks. University of Florida was one of the few that i could fin in the web.
I would strongly appreciate if could be given me some other suggestion. I also found out that NYU has got ma LL.M in this field. I'm looking for "big names" universities, because, to get the return of the big investment that i intending to do, i need a easily recognized name. I know is difficult to got to the famous ones, but a i will try, improve my English and try. Notice that i posted this question after i had looked for this information all around this discussion board and all around the majors websites.
Any suggestion would be appreciated, even if the LL.M is not specific for environmental and use of land, but offers courses that match my preferences to environmental and use of land.
Thanks.

Vermont, Lewis & Clark, and Pace are all highly ranked for environmental law.

First of all, thank you guys for the help so far.
With regard to Pace, Ive seen its website and i couldn't find anything about built environmental (I think it's the same of "land use"). I want to find some others Top Law Schools that, as happens to NYU, has courses about land use. I'm not sure, but I think that would be more likely in universities located in big cities. For example, NYU has a institute called Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy, where is developed studies in relation to what I want.
Any other place where I can find something similar?
Thank you, and good luck for us!

Really nice. I hope hearing from you. Just one thing: i check it out once again the Pace Website (NY, indeed) and i could find that they offer courses in respect to land use, they also have a Center related to this subject and linked to the University. But i would be very pleased if i can find some others good options. Maybe a Top University. I will aim at the stars.
If possible, ask him about a university that, besides matching my desire, as i told above, is situated in a big city. Best luck for all of us.
