http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253 en UofChicago LLM 2008/09 - LLM GUIDE Discussion Board Thu, 10 Apr 2008 14:56:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#45253 I have decided to go to University of Chicago for the LL.M. program this fall. Is there anyone else who has made his or her decision to go to UofChicago as well? Please show up and we can exchange our ideas regarding many preparation stuff in advance. In order for us to take a LL.M. program which is as small in size as that one in UofChicago, we got to be incentivized to act on our own to share many things. Cheers.

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 23:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#45408 Hi, I also decided to go to U of C Law School.. Let me introduce myself. I am currently studying in my last year of law school at the University of Antwerp, Belgium. Further, I want to take course in corporations, m&a, corporate finance and litigation, but if I have the chance to take courses of professors like Marta Nausbaum or Judge Posner, I will do that, Where are you from stealthbomber? What is your background? ... Sat, 12 Apr 2008 17:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#45450 Hi, I'm from China and have been working in law firms for years. I have the same areas of interest as you do since they are either related to my work. I haven't applied for the I-20 form yet. Am now considering options for living in Chicago. Have you made up your mind on that? There is another future classmate who contacted me via mail message here. I hope that more classmates may show up such that we can discuss widely on many subjects. Sun, 13 Apr 2008 16:39:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#45489 I will be joining you in September. I am also a last year law student for Belgium and my fields of interests are business related: Corporation, anti trust, the courses on freedom of speech also appeals to me, and I will definitely look into Law and Economics further. Tue, 15 Apr 2008 05:32:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#45583 Hi, everyone I am going to the University of Chicago as well! I am a Brazilian lawyer with a little more than 2 years of experience right now. Also interested in corporate law, securities, M&A etc. Definitely taking some law and economics too! I was wondering if anyone has already decided where to live at... I am between Regents and New Grad Resid, but the cost difference ($300 per month) is making New Grad look a little more attractive... What do you think? Tue, 15 Apr 2008 10:57:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#45597 Well I was looking for New Grad as well. I prefer it over I-house because at least in New Grad you have your own sanitary facilities. One little question, do we have to send the 300 $ in cash with the application? Thu, 17 Apr 2008 04:05:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#45791 As regards selecting apartments, I think that Regents Park might be a good choice if you are supposed to take the NY Bar exam next year, since neither I-House nor the New Grad will allow you to live there after the Spring Quarter and you will need to look for a temporary apartment then. Of course, the cost for living in Regents Park is much higher than living in the campus. But, sharing a two/three bedrooms apartment with someone else can be a good idea, and the cost difference can become slim. I prefer living in Regents Park, altho' I confess that it'd be kind of difficult if I am to share the apartments with others, or I will have to bear the increased cost for living a one-bedroom apartment alone. Thu, 17 Apr 2008 04:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#45798 Why don't we chat with each other via instant messenger, such as msn? We can send our msn accounts to each other's mailbox here. Sun, 20 Apr 2008 14:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#46041 Hey, guys, nice to see you all here. I'm from China and I am heading to Chicago for this fall. By the way, has anyone decided where to live? Any tips? Thanks! Sun, 20 Apr 2008 15:17:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#46043 hi, rockierzh. i'm from China too. as said above, Regents Park may be a good choice if u r 2 take the NY bar exam. Sun, 20 Apr 2008 15:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#46045 hi, rockierzh. i haven't figured out how 2 send message 2 ur mailbox yet. cld u pls give me ur msn account, if convenient? tks! Fri, 25 Apr 2008 11:40:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#46358 Hi everybody, Good to see you here on the Discussion board! I am also enrolling in the incoming LL.M. Program at the University of Chicago, so please allow me to introduce myself: My name is Martin and I´m from Austria. I am currently working at the Courts of Vienna as a juridical assistant to the judges. I am quite interested in Contract Law, IP, Arbitration and Corporations. I wouldn´t like to miss the chance to learn some more about Law and Economics either (Economic Analysis of law; US Antitrust). I am definitely looking forward to going to Chicago and meeting you! As for the living, I have applied for Regents Park; if I found a shared accomodation closer to the University a n d a Metra station I would clearly give it a thought; I wonder if we should probably establish a g o o g l e - g r o u p once Dean Badger has distributed our addresses; this would allow us to have a somehow more private conversation. All the best! Cheers, M Tue, 29 Apr 2008 03:21:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#46530 I'll be joining you! Has a separate group been created already? Tue, 29 Apr 2008 03:39:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#46531 Welcome! It appears that we will be three Brazilians in U of Chicago then - you, another "carioca" and me (as far as I know, at least). I don't think there is an e-mail group yet... Have you decided where to live at? Tue, 29 Apr 2008 05:42:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#46535 hi, i've created a group with its address as follows: http://groups.google.com/group/llm2008uchicago. please could you send to my mailbox your e-mail address such that I can invite you to join? thanks. Tue, 29 Apr 2008 05:48:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#46537 - Tks, EveB! I am going to send a message to your mailbox with my e-mail address, I think it will be easier to chat! - Stealth bomber, tks, I will send a message to your mailbox with my e-mail address too. Best regards! Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#46564 One perspective classmate suggested to me that a group @ Facebook might be more convenient and much "sexier" as compared with the same @ google. I think it's worth trying and have taken several minutes creating one group @ Facebook. But I don't know yet how to get that group's address although I want to send it to all of you here and we can decide which one is better. Does any of you have any tip on that? Thanks. Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#46576 Not even a clue, my friend. I am already in facebook, anyway. Fri, 02 May 2008 16:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#46759 Hi everybody! There’s one more Brazilian chap joining you on September! Just like Brazilsaopaulo, I’ve been accepted on April 28th. My name is Daniel and I’m currently working as a lawyer in São Paulo. By what I can see you’ve already created separate groups and lists. Stealthbomber, could u include my e-mail in the e-group? I’ll send I to your e-mail box. Tks mate! Hope we get in touch with u asap! Sun, 04 May 2008 16:07:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45253/last#46836 I created a facebook group with the following name: UChicago LL.M.
