http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45692 en Corporate Law: NYU vs. Chicago - LLM GUIDE Discussion Board Wed, 16 Apr 2008 05:02:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45692/last#45692 Dear all, Help me out here! I've got admissions on both, and I just can not decide between them. I've already read a lot of threads, and I could find out that Columbia would be the best option for corporations because of Cofee and the entire strong faculty. However, I've got no response back from CLS yet. Thus, I need some arguments in regard of NYU vs. CHICAGO. Which one is in the second position for corporate law and closer to CLS? To be honest with you, I had made the choice to go to NYU, but when I read the NYU vs. CLS thread, I felt a little unsecured. Is it that bad taking the Corporation LL.M. from NYU? I know NYU is the best for International Law and Tax, but its corporation LL.M. is at least among the best (top 5) in US? Is William Allen a good professor or not at all??? Please help me with this. Thank you very much!!! Wed, 16 Apr 2008 05:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45692/last#45694 I'm advising you to take Chicago. Law and Economic with Posner and the rest. Take Chicago and do it soon or you might lose the offer. Wed, 16 Apr 2008 07:50:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45692/last#45703 I agree with Juggernaut, NYU is a very good law school but in Corporate it is very weak. Go for UChicago, Posner & Co. are "one in a kind" professors and you won't regret the choice! P Wed, 16 Apr 2008 12:52:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45692/last#45714 NYU is weak in Corporate Law??? Don't be ridiculous! I would say that there are 4 law schools with superb credentials in Corporate and Commercial: HLS, SLS, Columbia and NYU... Guys, do not hesitate - NYU is obvious choice! Not Chicago! Wed, 16 Apr 2008 19:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45692/last#45758 Thank you, folks! Please, could someone shed some more light on this thread! I do know that Eric Posner is awesome and Chicago is the best for Law & Economics! But, are the programs for someone who is going to focus on corporate law about the same level? Or, Chicago is a way better on this field? I am not sure, but I feel some people are underestimating NYU's Corporate Law LL.M.? Is my impression right or not? I need more help!!! Thank you !!!

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 04:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45692/last#45966 If you are really asking the question then go for NYU, pay your fee and get your degree... If you want to be a wannabe go to NYU, however, if you are prepared for tough studying come to Chicago... NYU will definitely be easier and, maybe, more fun but Chicago is the real thing... Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45692/last#46167 Although the corporate Law of NYU is very good, I think you will have no chance to exchange any idea with the professor together with 400+ LLM student. If you want to do some academic research thing, NYU is not wise choice. As somebody mentioned above, the credential is good but...... Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:13:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45692/last#46168 Additionally, I think the best law school which is good at corporate law should be one of the following: SLS,Columbia, UPenn Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:32:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45692/last#46169 Well, NYU admits 450 LL.M. students for 9 programms. Students are distributed equally among the programms.. It means that NYU has approximately 50 LL.M. students in Corporate Law.... Tue, 22 Apr 2008 17:52:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45692/last#46177 That's ture. They do have "major". However, LLMs are free to choose any course in law school. Please notice the fact that the better the professor is, the more students will choose that course regardless the major. They do have 400+LLM! I just want to take the resouce distribution into consideration, which is very important for smebody who want to have a interactive way of learning on corporate course.:) Tue, 22 Apr 2008 21:41:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45692/last#46188 Additionally, I think the best law school which is good at corporate law should be one of the following: SLS,Columbia, UPenn And Northwestern, especially Northwestern. Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:41:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45692/last#46299 Why do you think corporate law is good at UPenn. Not saying it isn't, just curious as to why you think it is? Cheers. Thu, 24 Apr 2008 02:27:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45692/last#46305 Maybe I can anwser your question. UPenn has a very good corporate law prestige because of its outstanding corporate law faculty and cooperation with whartorn, which is a famous for its MBA, corporate governance and corporate financing. Some of the Professors not only teach corporate law in law school but also have second appointment in wharton. Anyway, I think nodulbtably corporate law in UPenn is prestigious.

Absolutely, it's like Northwestern with Kellogs.
