I was wondering which will be the best LL.M.s for a latin lawyer who wants to live in Caliornia and -find a job there -after finishing the LL.M.???
My GPA is 3.5 and I need a partical scholarship or loan.. Any toguhts on the matter?

Sorry I forgot, I dont think that you will have a good shoot about scholarships...sorry, and you should prepare to sit for the CA bar (pretty hard) how about your TOEFL at least 105...ps me

Rob or Ivan in particular - what are you guys doing/planning on doing with your LLM? And what were your credentials like getting into the NYU program?

I've got a master's degree, CPA, and JD from top 30 program with a bar admission 3 years ago, but I never practiced law. I'm working in tax compliance for a big 4 firm now, but I think I'd really like to get into a law firm doing a little more tax controversy work, or maybe a good job at the IRS. I feel like I've got a pretty good resume, but a bad 1L year when I was 19 years old really dragged down my law school GPA. Tried to make up for it with law journal and moot court, but I digress... Any advice on the career shift or admissions prospects at one of the top 3 LLMs?

Thanks for all the good info you guys have already posted here.

I practice probate law in a busy, small firm in Arizona. I am considering obtaining an LLM (with a focus in estate and gift tax). I cannot stop practicing. My options for LLM programs may be limited to the distance learning programs at Alabama and NYU. But there is a possibility that I could commute to USD, Loyola or Chapman. I'd appreciate any thoughts on these options.

Hi there,
I'm a lawyer in Argentina, 25 years old with 4 years background in tax law, working for the biggest law firm here. I'm planning to apply for Tax on LLM in NYU, UF, GT, BU or UM. I think that I have chances of being accepted (I've graduated from my university among the top 5% -#154 out of 3,000), but I would like to receive some thoughts regarding:
(i) best law school that will assure more chances of getting a job offer in the USA after graduating -despite the fact of the current financial and recession situation-
(ii) more possibilities of getting scholarships.

Thanks a lot in advanced!
