I am currently enrolled in USC LLM Law program and will be graduating this coming May.
I also have an LLB from Moscow State University and an MBA Degree from Washington Int. University. I was considering to apply to LLM program in Los Angeles for quite some time. But could not decide which school shall I choose and how to make the right choice. Fortunately, one of my friends got accepted to USC LLM Law program and successfully graduated in May of 2006. Through him I was able to receive information first hand about admission process, policies and his overall academic experiences at USC. After witnessing his excitement, positive attitude and genuine enthusiasm about the program I was determined to apply myself.
I have submitted my application and was accepted. The school year started in August of 2008 and I will be graduating in May of 2009. Fist semester of school flew by like one week. It is amazing how fast time goes by when you truly enjoy what you do! I love USC Law School. Joining this program was probably one of the best academic decisions I have made. We are about 95 students from all over the world: Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, Italy, Iran, Israel, Germany, Mexico, Russia, Poland, India and so on. The fact that all of the students admitted to the program have studied law in their home countries and are licensed to practice law there makes this experience very valuable. You will have an amazing opportunity to meet new people and make friends with intelligent professional individuals from all over the globe, study together, share your experiences, views and build new friendships. Moreover, you will be able to create your own school schedule by selecting classes that would benefit your professional Law career in the best possible way. Here at USC LLM students are treated just as JD students are. We get to choose the same classes, professors and participate in all school activities though out the semester.
For example this winter break the school organized a trip to Chochella and all of the LLM students were welcome to participate in it. All the hotel and transportation expenses were covered by the school. The purpose of the trip was to gain some practical legal work knowledge, such as client interviewing and legal research. I do not know of another Law School that would provide such legal practice opportunities and support to its LLM students.
If you are debating between schools as I was, take a close look at USC and give it your priority consideration. You will never regret it. If you have some questions about the program you can write to me at vnemiro@usc.edu I will be glad to help you out.
