The Eve of the Seventh Week
By droit.est.philosophie in George Washington's LLM in International Law on Oct 14, 2006
If productivity was a currency, almost seven weeks in, this LLM candidate would be affluent.
A vast array of international modules ranging the spectrum of courses with professors who, themselves, wrote the most widely used casebooks in the country leads to an enlightening educational experience. Without reservation, I encourage prospective LLM candidates to research this program, these professors, and apply themselves. To maintain anonymity, this candidate will not profess to the capabilities of any particular professor, but take a look at the faculty web page and see for yourself. Surely, you will be glad you did.
Even outside of the international law program, GW was given the SBA (Student Body Organization) of the year award for the 2005-6 school-year and has only this year initiated three LLM senatorial positions and a LLM council. These positions give LLMs a pivotal role in the development of the GW community both within and outside the classroom. It allows LLMs to interact on a regular basis with other LLMs and the rest of the student body (viz., JDs - the rising American Lawyers).
To keep this blog from sounding too much like a sales pitch I will turn the conversation to some intellectual and social matters.
Intellectually, I am looking for good books on the holistic jurisprudential foundations of international law. Additionally and more particularly, any books or articles on the intersection of sales law and jurisprudence would be of great aid. I would sincerely appreciate anyone knowledgeable who happens to stumble upon this blog to inform me of any good readings in these areas.
As to the social matters: I, personally, am in a committed relationship and my better-half was kind enough to follow me to the area. However, for those of you that are not as lucky as I in this aspect, there is a remarkable night life in DC. In fact, it said to have one of the greatest night-scenes in the USA (of course, this "fact" is merely word-of mouth-rumors, I suppose, you will have to discover whether it is true for yourself).
I wish you the best on the eve of the 7th week,
droit

I've met a few people in the IP LLM program and they all seem to think its exceptional. It is, according to the rankings (if you go with that), one of the top three IP programs in the nation. Presently, I've asked a few friends to write about what they think about the various LLM programs at GW and will be posting it after they are collected. Keep an eye on this blog as there should be a posting about it in the next month.
Best,
droit
