not sure about the distinction. Curious to know, however, how they climbed so quickly up in the ranks given that they haven't historically been known for their tax program. Perhaps just their general reputation precedes....

Perhaps just their general reputation precedes.... Because it's Harvard. No way I would waste my time doing that LLM. Go to NYU, Florida, or GTown (and possibly Miami if you want to do international work AND you get a free ride). [Edited 07 Jun 2006 by bankerky] |

I think you should note that the US News Rankings merely rank law schools that have tax programs. What you need to be looking at for LLM programs is a Graduate tax program ranking.Thu Jul 13, 2006 07:14 AM taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/gtxrank.html |

Hi, I am new here and I would love to join you with the discussion. I am quite interested in the Tax Law program in University of San Diego, has anyone had information about it? Is it only open to JD students? Is there any Tax Law Program that are also open to foreign students besides Michigan?Sat Nov 25, 2006 08:51 AM Thanks! |

I guess all the LLM programs mentioned in this forum accept foreign students.

I am an international student and I already applied for LLM with concentration in Taxation at HLS; I can see that their program is ranked # 5 and obviously I think Florida and NU are more prestiged in the tax law field, but what about the overall reputation of Harvard? doesn`t this fact attract potential employers for international tax law positions?

Mon Feb 26, 2007 08:12 PM I wasn't aware that Harvard had a Tax LLM program. Anyone going to it? Harvard does not have a tax LLM program, neither does UCLA, UCLA's LLM program is for international students only. My guess, is that these schools JD tax concentration is good enough to rank them highly even without getting an LLM from their school. Which makes sense because they are both top schools. |

The HLS LLM progam has a Tax concentration, albeit not a full-blown Tax LLM (although I'm not sure what the practical difference might be). Not as large as NYU's I would think, though.

Tue Feb 27, 2007 02:16 AM I guess all the LLM programs mentioned in this forum accept foreign students. Do you mean the International students without a JD degree? Will such students be recognized among employers only with a Tax LLM degree but not a JD degree？Do not know whether I have to get a JD first or go directly for Tax... thank you very much for your help~ |

All the major Tax LLM (NYU, Florida, GU - just to mention the Top 3) programs in the US admit foreign-trained students that hold a JD/ LLB equivalent degree. Regarding the recognition of such degree among employers, I think a foreign-trained Tax LLM has a fair chance to find a job (e.g. Big4, Law firms) if a) he attended one of the top schools in this field; b) has excellent grades in his LLM; c) has prior work experience.

No. However, if you find a job in the US (either Law Firm or Big4), you will be advised to sit for the Bar Exam (probably the NY Bar Exam, as many States do not allow foreign-trained attorneys to sit for the Bar Exam) further to the completion of the LLM.
