Admitted to both.
I heard that Columbia LLM is more selective than NYU, so would be consequently better reknown on the NY market and outside the US. This is however only a general and subjective argument.
Any advice as to the reputation of both schools in the litigation (and possibly, arbitration, but mainly litigation) business (subjects matters will be civil procedure, commercial disputes, criminal procedure, white-collar crime, private international law, comparative law, etc)?
Note that I might want to stay in the US on a longer term. No sure yet. As a firm attorney primarily.
NB: Been offered a research position and a merit scholarship by one school. Should this influence my choice? (not the money is important to me, but such merit acknowlegdment might be useful to have on my resume).
Thanks in advance for your advice.

In the same situation as you. I think. It is not an easy decision. Both are good choices and the merit scolarship is something to think about. I have friends in both universities and all say theirs is excellent. However, there is a little voice advicing me to go up.
