Hello,

I am looking for someone who is currently doing the LLM at Northwestern or has done it already and is willing to share something about the experience. I find it especially difficult to find some first hand statements about this school.

I would be interested in things as atmosphere in the LLM group (doing a lot of stuff together or not, having a group spirit, ...), how far the integration in the life of the school goes or are the LLMs rather separate, ...

Would be very grateful if someone was willing to share!
Thanks in advance

I'm a Northwester LLM, class of 2010. It was a great academic and living experience, and I am still in touch with many of my classmates. Go for it! you won't ever regret it

When requested, an LL.M. program should be willing to put applicants in touch with current LL.M. students and LL.M. graduates. If requested, the LL.M. program can easily send the applicants name and e-mail address to current LL.M. students and graduates, who will in turn contact the applicant. The applicant can then ask those people whatever they want. Those people might also put you in touch with others whose feedback you might appreciate.

Communicating with LL.M. students and graduates referred by the LL.M. program is not the same as communicating with LL.M. students and graduates you may meet through a non-school route. But, contacts through the school may be a good start. You will certainly want as many viewpoints as possible. And, you will want to hear both positive and negative comments about the school and its program, and not just the positive!

I attend the Law school, class of 2011. It was simply the best year of my life. There is a great LL.M group spirit, we did a lot of things together (concerts, exhibition, sport, show, bar, parties...) and I still keep in touch with many of them. The school encourages the students to mutliply the activities together and the associations make sur we never get bored.
There are a wide selection of classes and seminars, and I was not disappointed. Really practical, Faculty members are higly skilled, nice and easy to talk to.
Do not hesitate for a second.
