I am in hls.Its ok,especially international reputation but in america especially the law firms/big 4 hls is not seen as being all that great.many employers think maybe hls is good for constitutional law, legal theory and ssuch courses.nyu and cls are seen as producing better corporate/taxation llm lawyers for some reason.Thu Mar 22, 2007 02:16 AM I dont think the program matters really.to my knowledge,in hls many corporate people in concentrations like tax and international finance are still looking for jobs.with international trade from nyu you will be ok for the newyork job market.many of my nyu and cls mates have good jobs already in ny and washington firms.good luck to you. |

Okay, I recall your position from the "Employability" thread, but I can't see how this is possible. HLS not good for corporate law? Also, my position that no one really looks at "concentrations" aside, you do realize that the combined number of LLMs in the Tax and International Finance concentration is something like 10% of the LLM class? And quite a number of those in the International Finance concentration aren't looking for US jobs, including almost all the older ones with significant experience? I also think you might want to break down your reasons for, impliedly, placing a very, very high value on being in New York City itself during your job hunt. Again, we know we have quite the opposite opinion on this, but I would prefer to dissect your broad generalizations. |
