NYU professors in LLM Programs
Any suggestions on which teachers are a Must? This discussion is supposed to help everybody with their course choices but I'm particularly interested in the International Legal Studies Program... Anyone with experience?

NYU professors in LLM Programs
I just completed the program and I would recommend the following:Thu May 17, 2007 11:41 PM - Weiler is one of the best professors I have ever had - take a class with him. - Donald Donovan for International Arbitration. - Lowenfeld is not a great teacher but is very smart. He teaches two 4 credit classes during the year, so it is tempting to take a class from him for the credits. - check out which of the global law faculty will be here next year as they are very good. This year I took International Law and Politics with Koskeniemmi and he was amazing. Unfortunately he won't be back until 2008-2009. - Although I never took him, Alston is really good for Human Rights Law - Thomas Franck is one of the leading UN (and PIL) scholars. I did a paper with him and he was very nice. He often teaches a course in the Consitutional Law of the UN with someone else. This year it was ith Simon Chesterman but he is in Singapore next year. - Paul Van Zyl is supposed to be amazing. I wish I had taken Transitional Justice with him - For International Environmental Law Richard Stewart is very good. He co-teaches a seminar with Michael Oppenheimer from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy at Princeton which is supposed to be quite good. - Kevin Davis teaches a good course in Law and Development (sometimes taught by Frank Upham) Anyway, I hope that is of some assistance. If you are interested in a particular area, let me know and I can let you know if there are any particular professors that you may want to consider. Good luck next year! |

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Dwrokin supposed to be at NYU, or does he spend his time elsewhere as well?
