Talking crap is what you have a masters in,not me.Read my posts in sequence and try to glean out the point I am trying to make.

Your replies are insipid and off the mark and at times higly obnoxious.But unlike you I do not attempt to forclose an argument by writing in blocks and trying to act smart.(But then that is an Australian trait,ai'nt it?)

LOL!!!! I'm not even going to touch that one.

Steriotyping nationalities as a substitute for a credible argument ... PRICELESS.

Heard of something called humorous jibe?

Now I have only myself to blame for engaging in an argument with an imbecile whose mental faculties are not yet fully developed.

An incapacity to pursue civilised debate... PRICELESS.

Do you have any proper arguments? Remember, we are talking about Warwick, not Australia, not my mental capacity, WARWICK.

Keep it RELEVANT.

hi again everyone...seems as i was missing something!

well let's try to get back on track...
from an oz perspective, that is to say from a common law background, i agree with the australian guys when they say that its not worth going oversee if not for oxbridge. but said that, i would prefere an llm in sydney or melbourne to any london llm. as u mentioned some australian institutions have great reputation and if u plan going back there, no point investing so much money in europe. by the way i'd never study in the US, as a matter of culture, of principle, of self respect, i'd rather study in the remotest and less regarded univ in the world. as far as i love australia, i really hope it will stay away and far from any american cultural interfearence.

from a european point of view though (or indian maybe) i think we can say that the range of good choices, as far as uk univs are concerned, is very very broad! in italy there's nothing like an llm (whatever in florence is crap!) and i have some belgian friends here who never took under consideration the school of Brugge. even if u look at law firms recruiters - even top firms - they dont mind taking ppl from leeds, newcastle, norwich, essex and many other institutions. furthermore they recruit also a number of non-law students for training contracts, so basically they dont just look at the academic aspect of a cv.

ciao for now, om satnam!

Guys, when I strted this thread, I never for once imagined that it will be turned into a virtual boxing duel between the gents from Aussie and the energetic indian: Sayaks - who through a brilliant piece of advocacy, has tried to elevate Warwick Law School (the very institution he had lamented being "stuck with" in previous posts) to an internationally recognised institution.
Henceforth, Capa and his friends would have no excuse for confusing Warwick with a fictional character in the Witches of Eastwich. Having said that, can we cease the useless dissipation of energy on this mundane topic (Warwick is a good UK school; its int'l reputation is non-existent) and concentrate on more important issues. Eg. Funding. What avenues, for instance, should an asian or an african pursue in search of funds for the exorbitant fees and living expenses required for a UK LL.M.

I have been reading and following this thread that I started with keen interest. Quite entertaining, I must say!

Btw, I just thought I should mention. To the person posting the message just above me; I don\'t quite see your motive in impersonating me. You are Sorcerer[.] with a full stop at the end; I (who started this threa) am just plain Sorcerer. You obviously registered that account just to post that one message (impersonating me), since you have only one post thus far.

In principle, I don\'t see what is the big argument about. Warwick does have a good reputation as a law school in England, but from my understanding, even in England, it\'s prestige is not as high as Oxbridge and the London colleges (whether deservedly or not). But this does not mean that Warwick is NOT a good law school - it is!

However, when we talk about reputations in individual countries, surely there is no right or wrong (like Kazaf said). I asked for the unis most highly regarded in various countries, and so individuals from various countries replied. Capa and the Australians gave their honest view of the UK unis reputation in Australia - that is just so. Same in HK - Oxbridge and the 3 London colleges are substantially more well-regarded than Warwick or Durham, etc. I think it is wrong to say that all Australian and Hong Kong people are \'ignorant\' just because our perceptions are different. This was a subjective question, and so the answers are subjective. Especially since our perceptions are not completely inconsistent with the perceptions in England itself.

I suggest that our rude, Australien fellows attend Faculty of law, University of Tromsø, Norway. It is a good law school with no international reputation whatsoever.. And the climate would definitively chill them down.

I can't really comment on Warwick law school, as I am a business student. However, Warwick university is considered one of the three best universities in the UK for business and it's MBA program is one of the most renowned in Europe (internationally!).

You just have to love our little Indian friend! He’s gone undercover!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nobody would write that apart from him. How low can you get. He could be any of us – what a fucking chilling thought! LOL


Finally some points of advice for our fellow users:

• Lock your doors if you live near Coventry.
• If you were thinking of attending Warwick don’t (not for academic reasons but for safety reasons).
• If you see any out of character comments from other members check to see if they spell ‘started’ – ‘strted’ it could be him. Also, check for ‘Warwick’ references.
• Any answers by people that are completely off topic could also be him.

Good luck and stay safe,

Rich xx

Come on guys! Why should Sayaks write:

Doesn't make sense.

It does if you read all the crazy stuff he has posted on here. Who else would agree with all the out of context comments he has posted on here? Nobody in their right mind would have posted that message. Only a crazy person would be so stupid to think it could fool us all. Besides - there is no motive for anybody else to write it. Everybody finds Sayaks banter funny.

As Sherlock Holmes reminded Dr Watson, when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. I would reject all the alternative analyses, which I find unconvincing for the reasons I have already endeavoured to explain, and hold Socerer. to be non other that the miscreant 'Sayaks.'

To the sundry allegations flying by thick and fast and the 'intelligent' conclusions drawn by few enlightened gentlemen I have only one piece of advice,"stop your fertile imaginations running amock before you loose a grip on reality".(And maybe it is high time to put aside Sherlock Holme's lest next I hear gentle murmurs about matching my fingerprints with the dubious impersonating Sorcerer.)

I need not take an alias(or a different user name) or prod or p.m. other users to cocur with me.
It amazes me to see how certain individuals love to spew venom on me and a few of their lowly comments have become a source of constant marvel to me.

"I did not beat a retreat" as suggested by Beckham.I had just stepped out of the ground and standing next to it to see the furious kicking of the other players.Some,I dare say have qualified to be shown the red card.

As regards my thread titled " Stuck with Warwick" which has proved to be a source of amusement and hilarity to some,would the gathered intellentsia please note that it raises the concerns of a student regarding his accommodation and has no relation whatsoever to the reputation(or the lack of it) of an institution.The title of the particular thread was intended to elicit response from those visiting the site and in a better position to suggest effective remedial measures.
I had not intentionally bothered to clear the cloud regarding this because I had presumed that individuals intending to pursue LLM will have the requisite grey particles to read a previous post in context,but my presumtion turned out to be too optimistic.(sigh!)
