GW or American for International Law LLM
Wed May 21, 2008 06:46 AM
I have a US JD, graduated exactly 1 year ago & have passed the bar in my state. I want to get into international business law. I have gotten into to both GW & American in DC. Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on which is more respected in the international law arena especially for international business law. I know the US news ratings but just wanted to know if anyone in DC can give me a better feel of which is better b/c cost appears to be about the same.

Hey Marley,

I'm thinking about applying to Intl Law LLM programs, so I've been checking out AU and GW as well. I know that AU is ranked higher, so I guess that's a plus. I'm interested in International Business Law as well. I know that GW has a section in their General LLM for commercial, business, and labor law, but I think that's more US domestic based. As for AU, I like the looks of their Intl Business specialization. It seems a bit stronger than GW's. I've been looking at faculty to see what they've been doing (I think the faculty determine if its reputible or not). The faculty list for the GW website is good: www.law.gwu.edu/Faculty/. But I think the listing at AU/WCL is a bit better to understand: www.wcl.american.edu/ilsp/faculty.cfm

Eitehr way, good luck!

Hi Marley,

I agree with amelie. I think that AU's business program will be more international focused. The faculty at AU have done some interesting stuff. Some of their profile's include their CVs and past syllabus. I liked looking at what the faculty have done because it gives me a sense of how good the school probably is. Good luck!
