http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678 en LLM in Paris - LLM GUIDE Discussion Board Fri, 13 Jan 2006 17:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#9678 I'm an American law student, and I'd like to pursue an LLM in Paris at Pantheon-Assas after graduation (yes, I speak french). My only question is how to pay for it. Can I file a FAFSA for student loans to go abroad? Will a private lender give me money? Thanks! Fri, 13 Jan 2006 21:22:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#9683 go to the following website: www.iefc.com. They have Federal Stafford Loans as well as bank loans available through Bank of American and Citibank. The program is specifically designed for US citizens wanting to study abroad long term or short term. Hope this helps. Best of Luck. Sun, 15 Jan 2006 22:13:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#9730 Excellent; thank you so much! My next question is if anyone knows whether this particular program is really competitive ... or whether the LLM programs in general are extra competitive? Tue, 17 Jan 2006 17:52:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#9793 LLM in paris is very competitive, but llm in general is not so much. If you decide to do an llm (since you already hold a JD im assuming) in the US, then its not as selective. However, if you decide to enroll in Europe, and I believe you want to take that route, then LLM is a bit selective depending on the school you apply to (like any other program). If you have excellent grades plus work experience, then I would apply to the paris program. Since they are mostly seeking mid-career students. The best way to describe it would be: imagine applying to an MBA program or Executive MBA at Tier 1 schools. This might help: the sister school of the paris program is Columbia University. This might help out regarding its stature. But theres no harm in applying, so just go for it. Depending on your grades, you might want to look into other universities as well. If you are seeking French Speaking Universities, try Geneva. Tue, 31 Jan 2006 16:35:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#10381 Does anyone know why there's such a discrepancy between Assas and Sorbonne in terms of tuition for the LL.M.? As I understand it, tuition at Assas is around 2,100 euros whereas at Sorbonne it is 6,000 euros. Also, does anyone know the practical differences between the LL.M. program at Assas and the LL.M. program at Sorbonne? The Sorbonne program seems very well organized and appears to include a 3-month placement component. It is difficult to find comparable information on the LL.M. program at Assas, though I understand the university has an exceptional reputation. As between the two, is one more difficult to get into? Sat, 04 Mar 2006 20:13:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#11892 Sun, 05 Mar 2006 15:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#11940 Vigilantee311, are you an alumnus/alumna of Paris II - Assas ? I’m sure you are… I graduated from Hec and Paris X Nanterre, and I don’t think Assas is widely considered as a best law school than Paris I – Sorbonne. Paris 1-Sorbonne is a very prestigious law school in France, probably better than Assas in International/Commercial law. For example, Paris 1-Sorbonne has a joint degree program JD/maîtrise with Columbia Law School and Cornell and an LLB/maîtrise joint degree with King's College. There is also a joint degree program Paris I/SciencesPo/Cornell/Columbia Law School called "dess droit de la globalisation économique". However I do agree that Assas was well-know for its far-right student activism and violence. http://www.uejf.org/uejf_detail.php?sid=&id_art=593&id_type=3 By the way, Nicolas Sarkozy graduated from Paris X-Nanterre… (another mistake in your post ?) http://www.time.com/time/europe/magazine/article/0,13005,901041011-708953-2,00.html Fri, 10 Mar 2006 19:07:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#12356 ..

Thu, 16 Mar 2006 00:42:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#12878 hi guys i ve been planing also, to ask for the dess program in bussines law - droit des affaires at sorbonne , but i read some comments here saying that is hard to get into it, if u r not french. is it true? is it so impossible? i m albanian but with a law degree at Bologna University, and i would really like to get into that program at sorbonne, i m studing french hard, but i really want to be sure that my apply will be considered. can someone of u say me something about it, or advise me something? thx Thu, 16 Mar 2006 12:45:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#12970 Hi I am a student of the DESS droit des affaires et fiscalité of Paris 1 Sorbonne. is this the programm you are talking about? because if it is I can tell you that it is very open to foreign students provided you can attest being (quite) fluent in french and english and having good marks of course. about one third of the current students are from abroad. maybe more than that actually I should check. Thu, 16 Mar 2006 21:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#13049 yes i was talking about the DESS u r studing in. Glad to hear that foreign students are allowed. actually i m studing french, but do you think i should have to show them a certificate ore something for my french , or they are going to check it by their own?. thx for the informations kali :) Fri, 17 Mar 2006 15:34:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#13138 you will probably have an interview either in Paris or by phone if you cannot come to Paris. I can ask exactly how it went to a foreign student of my class if you want me to. where are you from again?

I would be very gratefull to you if you ask your class mate about the interview, thanks a lot Sat, 18 Mar 2006 13:41:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#13231 Vigilantee311, are you an alumnus/alumna of Paris II - Assas ?

However I do agree that Assas was well-know for its far-right student activism and violence. http://www.uejf.org/uejf_detail.php?sid=&id_art=593&id_type=3 I think you're not being fair to Assas for that matter. First, those "far-right student", let's say it plainly: neonazis are what 30 students out thousands. They are really a minority, well hated, and easily recognizable with their air-foce hairdo, military shoes and other accessories (like the famous as I called it Saint-Exupery's scarf). And I should know, I've been for half of my studies in Paris XIII Villetaneuse and half in Assas so let's say I experience the two "extremes" (Villetaneuse is located in a rough "banlieue" and is clearly leaning on the far-left with now fundamentalism issues). One think you can say for sure about Assas is that the amount of silver-spoon stark-spoiled students with an arrogant caricatural "Paris" mind and full designers clothes has no match in France! But that similar to some private US law schools. As for the reputation, I totally agree on the fact that Assas and Sorbonne, especially internationally, speaking, are well reknowed. Each one has qualities, depending on the area of law and the faculty (Public Law better in Sorbonne, Private in Assas, International Business for Sorbonne, IP/IT for Assas). But without any prejudice (and without speaking of others great law schools like Nanterre or Sceaux which has an excellent reputation but not internationally) it's perfectly true that Assas has an overall "better reputation". When you think of a Law School you think Assas and for recruiters that have not a great knowledge of specific diplomas Assas always ring a bell. Is it legitimate? Certainly not entirely but that's a fact. However the 2 law schools are really similar and share the same premises for the Master 2 (Panthéon facilities not practical but great). To give a pregnant example some middle law firm that received tons of resumé (market is bad) and cannot possibly read them all have sometimes devise a rather direct way of choosing: eliminate all resumés that are not Assas or Sorbonne. PS : I don't think it's very relevant to point the Law School of politicians as most of them like Nicolas Sarkozy almost never practiced and the true sources of power are institutions like ENA, Science PO & co. Wed, 29 Mar 2006 00:05:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#14588 As for fluency, I have a french major ... what are some guidelines to determine whether my french is "good enough"?

Tue, 18 Apr 2006 20:45:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#16723 Hi, does anyone know if these LLM programs in Paris (Assas, Sorbonne, etc.) prepare a foreigner (American) for the French bar? Also, is there a special, easier bar for foreigners wishing to be admitted to practive in France? Thanks! Thu, 27 Apr 2006 00:30:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#17392 About testing your level of French, you should look up your local Alliance Francaise. You may be able to take something kind of equivalent to the English TOEFL there. There are currently a couple of tests offered, the TCF and DELF/DALF, which are widely accepted by universities. The TCF system is a bit simpler (just take the test), whereas for the DALF, you must first take the TCF or DELF to even have access to that test. I've been told that most universities now accept the TCF. The TCF offers several "mandatory" and several "optional" sections. I believe you must take all of them for university access. Unfortunately, not all Alliances Francaises offer these tests, and even those that do may only offer them a couple of times a year. There is also a not-small fee, something nearing $200 I think. If you are going to be in France sometime soon, you may wish to arrange to do the test there. Good luck! rokiany Sat, 29 Apr 2006 16:35:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#17541 I guess I wasn't clear : My question was supposed to be about the French bar exam itself. I'm fine with the level of necessary French. What I don't know is if these LLM programs prepare a foreigner to take the French bar exam. Does anyone know the answer? Also, I've been told there is a special bar exam for foreigners that has fewer questions on it. Any info would be greatly appreciated... -Gary Sun, 30 Apr 2006 12:07:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#17567 Hi, I'm doing the LLM in Assas. This LLM doesn't give you the access to the French Bar Exam. Here, you have to apply to a special school that's called IEJ. The application to the IEJ is not allowed with a simple LLM. You should do a DESS/DEA (now called Master 2). Things changes if you already did the bar exam in your country, then you can pass the french bar exam anytime! Mon, 22 May 2006 00:32:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#18288 hi, since you're doing the LLM in Assas do you mind telling me what kind of students they accept in the program. I passed my Quebec bar already and I'm doing my internship now. i'll be a lawyer when i apply for the LLM. and i want to know what my chances are of getting in. how many people apply and how many get in? i've done all my studies in french so language is not a problem. thanks Tue, 23 May 2006 08:57:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#18350 I was wondering if anyone could comment on the reputation of L'Universite de Cergy-Pontoise? I'd be doing a joint J.D/DESS-DJCE with Vermont Law and Cergy in 4 years. I'd like to know the job prospects and reputation of the school before I decide to enroll in the program. Thanks. Tue, 30 May 2006 02:02:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#18627 Hello. Sorry Toogie, this is not in response to your question. I am a fourth year english student currently attending Simon Fraser University in western Canada. I'll be done this year, and when i finish, i plan on moving to montreal and doing a french course at a language school for a year or so. I want to attend law school in Paris, and earn a J.D or LL.B or whatever a basic law degree is called in France. My question is this: Assuming that my LSAT score/grades are competative (about an A/A- cummulativly), and I have a language certificate from a good language school, what are some of the barriers I would face if I applied to one of the law schools in Paris? My main concerns are that my Canadian english degree will be invalid, and that the costs for an international student will be incredibly high. I also wonder what the visa situation is like, and how that process works. Any advice or direction would certainly be appreciated! I assume that the majority of people on this discussion board are allready practicing lawyers, so feel free to write me a detailed report outlining my options! I'll send you a cheque! Sun, 04 Jun 2006 19:34:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#18811 Hi Jdilli, I don't really know how many applications the LLM in Assas receives every year, they don't tell us. I only know that we are 20 students in class, from 20 different countries and with very different accademical background. Some are lawyers, some are not (me for ex.). I think they pay attention to your grades in school and to your professional experiences, they want you to be among the best in the studies you did. If you're fluent in French I'm sure you won't have any problem to get in.

Tue, 07 Nov 2006 13:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#21911 On the Paris 1 v Paris 2 debate, rather than making emptly statements, here is a list of all rankings I have been able to find on the internet: http://www.ulb.ac.be/polytech/smana/NOUV_OB/Observateur.htm http://www.smbgrecrutement.com/2_classement/6.html http://www.smbgrecrutement.com/2_classement/7.html http://www.smbgrecrutement.com/2_classement/11.html http://forums.figaro-etudiant.com/view.php?site=figaro&bn=figaro_formation&key=1113522114 Paris 2 as come before Paris 1 in every single ranking I have found. One should be aware that they both can make the same claim at being the "Sorbonne". Historically, the "Sorbonne" was split into 12 different universities in 1968. 3 include the name in their present denomination (Paris 1, 3, and 4), but should not be mistaken with the original institution. Sun, 25 Mar 2007 22:07:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#27971 Hi, I am a danish law student that would like to follow the LL.M. program in the year 2008/09 at Sorbonne, Paris. Does anyone know how I can improve my chances of being accepted in the program? Does anyone know if the recommendation letters have to be in french? Is there in the meantime anything else I can do this year to improve my position, for example take some specific language tests in french (and are some tests more accepted than others)? Thank You for your help, Sat, 07 Jul 2007 13:05:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#33310 Those debates about which is the best between Assas and Sorbonne are quite frivolous since the reputation of french universities depends on the Master 2, each university excelling in different fields. For example Assas bank and finances law Master 2 has the best reputation while there is no match in France, and probably Europe to Sorbonne's International law Master 2. And this leads to have smaller universities excelling in their own field (Paris V, Sceaux, Strasbourg, Dijon...) Contrarily to what has been written, no serious recruiter will discard an application because it does not contain THE diploma they are looking for. None of those diplomas gives you a direct access to the Bar A french graduate has to go through the EFB (http://www.efb-paris.avocat.fr/). For foreign lawyers already admitted to a foreign bar read section 99 (UE) and 100 (none UE) of the Décret dated 27 novembre 1991 : http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/WAspad/Ajour?nor=JUSX9110304D&num=91-1197&ind=1&laPage=1&demande=ajour Sun, 08 Jul 2007 20:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#33329 As a recent graduate of the LLM at the Sorbonne, I wouldn't wish to comment on the academic element of the course at Assas. What I can comment on however is the administrative element - Assas seem to lack contact with reality, both I and another student applied to Assas early last year, but they were not even prepared to get around to interviewing until September (for a course that was to start in October). At least the Sorbonne had got an offer out by June. Therefore unless you are prepared to hang on until the very last minute to know if you have been accepted skip Assas. As for the LLM at the Sorbonne, it is useful if you plan on staying in France as the stage/secondment helps you get office based experience which helps trying to find a job. The Universities here do seem to be in need of M. Sarkozy's reform proposals. Sun, 08 Jul 2007 21:01:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#33331 "Does anyone know if the recommendation letters have to be in french?" Unlike in the US and UK, the french faculties do not require, and even often dislike recommendation letters. Mon, 09 Jul 2007 21:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#33364 If you are talking about the Sorbonne then there is a format for the letter of recommendation that is available on the site (it's not immediately obvious, it appears as you work through the application process). They do not need to be in French for the Sorbonne. I have no idea about Assas. As it's already mid-July then if you have not already applied you may find that you're too late for the Sorbonne for Oct '07, but in time for the slow moving Assas. Wed, 18 Jul 2007 23:51:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/9678/last#33640 Does anyone have feedback on what happened to you after the LLM? What were your experiences employerwise?

Also I would like to know what criterions are the most important to enter? (good marks, language skils, etc?) Thanks!

About language as well, because my french is not fluent, and I would like to know is it necessary to pass language test or smth and what level is required. Or maybe there are courses in english?

I don't really know about the grades they're expecting from foreigners applicants. when you are French and apply to a "Master 2" (LLM) they usually require good grades, distinctions, like "with high honors" diplomas.. but work experience can also be considered, i guess. For the language requirement, I remember foreigners in my class (btw, many foreigner applicants are accepted) had to come to paris some weeks before the master started and take a special French class. anyways, i'm not of much help here, but if you have specific questions, just ask! cheers
