SOS: Antitrust Law, which program to choose?
Dear all,Sun May 28, 2006 11:30 PM I am close to finishing my PhD in Economics, sperializing in industrial economics and antitrust policy. Pursuing an LLM would be a plus for my profile and I am grateful to your suggestions on program reputation of antitrust law in USA PS: I am currently living in France now. Merci beaucoup Vanessa [Edited 31 May 2006 by Vanessa] |

That is all very nice Vanessa, but do you have a law degree? I think you need a law degree to be accepted into an LL.M program.

Thanks Richard.Mon May 29, 2006 08:03 AM I only hold degrees in economics and risk management. Do you, or anyone else, know special LLM programs which may not need a degree in law? |

It depends on Universities' policy, look at their web site, then contact and ask the admissions office.Mon May 29, 2006 10:28 AM In UK for eg there are many unis that consider non-law student with a particular background, especially with economic studies, and you could be one. Hope this helps. |

You may want to contact the admissions office at the U. of Chicago, where Law is a close to Economics as it gets. Otherwise, you way consider applying for an Economics Master's program and then attend all Antitrust and Law & Economics courses, which is very easy while you're there (that would certainly be true in any US school, by the way).

thanks a bunch, tortello and antoine.Wed May 31, 2006 09:40 AM it seems that Law schools in US are quite strict with a primary degree in law, however, european master programs in law are relatively more flexible. Yeap, I am very interested in Chicago and actually I am gonna move there this Sep. I was wondering if it is possible to apply for any certificate programs in those prestigious law schools, supposing that it might be less strict with the eligibility. |

Can't tell about other law schools, but Chicago Law doesn't offer "certificates". You either pursue a full degree or you don't. However, as I was suggesting, may may attend any law school classes you want as a business school or an economics student, and earn law school credits counting toward your degree in business or econ. This may not solve your equation, though, since getting into the B-school or the Economics program will be just as hard as getting into the law school :(Fri Jun 02, 2006 08:29 AM |

I have found M.S.L. at Yale which is not strict with a primary degree in law. But I guess the career path of M.S.L. is also pretty different from LLM. Any comments from you guys?Mon Jun 05, 2006 04:03 PM I am also considering an LLM which is offered by UoL's external program. How is it recognized by those US employers given I am heading for consultant career in the future? |

Vanessa - wondering whether you went with the external program - what was your experience? How was it viewed?
