A Late Addition
By droit.est.philosophie in George Washington's LLM in International Law on Sep 7, 2006
Primarily, this blog aspires to be geared towards those who, like myself, could find little literature on LLM programs, their instrumentality post-graduation, and the opportunities that will spawn from participating in the program. More specifically, to give readers an 'insider's look' at one of the best international law programs in the United States (pardon the bias, but the U.S. news and world report will support that assessment).
After less than two weeks of courses at G.W. the balance that pervaded my graduate and law programs preceding this LLM presented itself. The allocation of time required to simultaneously maintain the courses, the thesis, family life, and the everpresent law school social life continues at the next level of education.
At first glance, the quality of both students and professors is astounding. And the location, only blocks away from the White House in Washington D.C., both humbles the individual and magnifies the importance of what one is doing on a daily basis. The location puts law back into the political context from which it was born; a context that I believe is its natural and proper habitat.
It is only after two weeks that I have had a spare minute to write this blog-entry, so it is questionable how often I will post. But I will assure you that if I find any answers as to whether an LLM is worth doing or not, I will post those answers here. For now, I can assure you that you will not be dissapointed by the intelligence and class of the student body at George Washington nor with their student services. I know I am impressed.
Best,

Here here! Which LLM are you taking anyway?
Sorry, just saw what you do. Anyway, some of us will keenly watch out for your blogs.
I am planning to do my LLM in Intellectual Property or Alternative Dispute Resolution. Its after 15 years of practise in the subject that I intend to go in for further studies. Is the admission for us difficult. Will there be an entrance exam at the DC college of law or will I be assessed on my marks which were relevant then but not now after 2 decades. Experience is.Can someone guide me on chances of admission . I am in India.
