LLM in international trade law
Hi,Sat Mar 10, 2007 06:38 PM I am completing my LLM program in International Trade Law at University of Arizona James Rogers College of Law. It's a wonderful program, although not the top US law school. Here are some advantages of the program: 1. Small group of students, 10-15 every year, which means you get a special attention and wonderful treatment from the faculty, unlike 100 LLMs at Gergetown. Each LLM student has its own desk and a small office space where he/she can study, read, whatever. 2. It is located in a sunny city of Tucson, just 60 miles north from US/Mexican border. Tucson is a nice place to live in and you have a pretty long list of cool places to travel if you have a break. I've been to San Diego, LA, San Francisco and also had a very interesting trip down to Mexico. 3. Since Tucson is nice and warm place, Law School benefits from a number of high profile professors, who used to teach in US top law schools, but moved to Tucson (probably because of the weather). International Trade Law itself and Commercial Law, and perhaps Intellectual Property Law is taught by a VERY good professors, well known in their respective areas. 4. Tuition is much lower comparing to top law schools. Probably twice or more lower. So, please let me know if you need an additional information and I would be glad to provide it. Best, |

I am presently considering applying to the MILE programme. However there is paucity of information on the programme. I would therefore welcome any information or thoughts from anybody on the programme. How good is the programme? what are the chances of being admitted to the programme and all sundry comments will be welcome. Bjorn, i will especially welcome your contribution from you, since you first mention the programme.thank you in advance

Dierome, it is quite ovious NYU has the better program, don't be fooled. 5th (NYU) in the rankings v 14th (G'Town) in the rankings-there is no comparison. Any half-smart person in your position would choose NYU. |

Yes, it is true that NYU is better ranked that Georgetown. However, NYU's curriculum doesn't have as many international trade law courses as Georgetown. Fri Mar 12, 2010 01:02 PM Additionally, Gtown has the Institute of International Economic Law, directed by Mr. John Jackson... I don't know about the number of LLM students in Gtown, but I've heard that NYU admits an awful lot of them... There are pros and cons for both, and I just can't seem to make up my mind with any of them... |

No, not at all....I didn't even know that Arizona had an LLM in international trade law....Sat Mar 13, 2010 02:42 PM In any case, and with all due respect, I don't think it can be half as good as any T-14 university such as Georgetown or NYU.... |

Sat Mar 13, 2010 03:38 PM Dierome, it is quite ovious NYU has the better program, don't be fooled. 5th (NYU) in the rankings v 14th (G'Town) in the rankings-there is no comparison. Any half-smart person in your position would choose NYU. When you get into these specialized programs, minor differences in rankings really do not mean anything. If Georgetown has better course options and better faculty in a program, then it does not really matter if it ranked slightly below NYU in the (highly subjective/nonscientific) US News rankings. Remember, the US News rankings are for JD programs, not specialized LLMs. |

Yes, you are absolutely right...Sat Mar 13, 2010 03:50 PM Taking that into account, would NYU be then a bad choice for someone interested in international trade law? The truth is that NYU has looked far more appealing to me than Georgetown, for reasons than aren't necessarily academic...LOL |

I am sure the NYU program is perfectly good - was mostly saying that if you liked the GT program better, you shouldn't decide against it only because of rankings. And I definitely understand the "non academic" considerations, as New York is definitely a great city and NYU is in a great part of town. Just be aware that New York is *very* expensive, so a year at NYU will probably be a lot more expensive than one at GT, even if tuition is about the same.
