As far as reputation: At least in Europe, LLMs from England especially from the University of London have the highest esteem.

I am looking for an LLM program in Maritime Law. I would prefer Europe over USA, as the cost of school in the US is prohibitive. Does anyone have any info about EU schools for Maritime Law. Mon, 31 Jan 2005 22:34:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/359/last#638 Hello unimusher, first person from Alaska in this board, as far as I know!

I am more interested in any personal knowledge people may have about these programs. I couldn't find an "advanced search". Mon, 31 Jan 2005 23:41:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/359/last#641 Maybe you should start a new topic in the Europe or UK section of the board!

It's strange how fast time goes by. Did you just finish your maitrise? The idea to go to Asia sounds good, but I think it must be much more complicated than some other countries (like US, UK, Australie). bon courage, reinhard Wed, 02 Feb 2005 03:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/359/last#661 I'm late but it's amazing to meet you.
