Cardozo vs Fordham
Sun Feb 24, 2008 11:59 AM
I have been admitted at Cardozo. I am still awaiting for Fordham and others universities. In case I would be admitted at Fordham too, which one should I choose? I want to do IP law.

Thanks for your help!

I just finished the LL.M. in IP law at Cardozo, and I loved it there. I don't know a lot about Fordham, so I cannot really compare the two law schools. However, Cardozo is ranked 4th in IP law. The program is really good. I definitely would make the same choice again.

Thanks for your answer. Do you think Cardozo in really reconized by the big law firms in the US for IP law? I feel that they don't really care about the specialities rankings...

Hi
Fordham is a more reputable school than Cordozo, I think. However, Cordozo IP program ranks 4th. I myself prefer Fordham.
I applied in Fordham in their corporate law program, but I haven't gotten any news yet. What is the time frame for admission or rejection in Fordham?

Sorry for answering the question you asked me so late - i haven't been on this website for a while. As far as I know, Cardozo is pretty recognized, especially in the field of IP and especially on the East Coast. Since you will be likely to take the bar in NYS, you probably will not have to worry about Cardozo's reputation in NYC.

Hi, guys. I have been admitted by Fordham's IP Program. Personally speaking, I prefer Fordham much more than Cardozo, even if the latter is also good, especially in IP courses.

Hi there! I was wondering what the job prospects were once you graduated from the Cardozo Ip Program? Did the University offer any aid in the job search? Did you find it difficult to find employment?
Also, did you take part in the externship program? If so, was that very helpful in terms of gaining practical experience?

I keep reading that the Cardozo program "ranks 4th" but cannot seem to find the complete list of rankings.
Are there any other New York City IP programs that ranked highly?
