Our program is specifically not intended for LL.M. students who plan to remain in the US and take a State bar. So, the value of our LL.M. program may be different than others.

When you are studying, it is about much more than just learning what has been assigned; it is about researching on your own, searching for the information, and broadening our knowledge to satisfy your genuine academic curiosity.

Students need to work hard in class, as well as outside class. International lawyers should make the most of the experience with their colleagues by participating and adding value to classroom debates and activities.
The LLM #Admission Interviews: Eric Menkhus & Adam Chodorow, Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law
Law school is hard work, and living abroad can be difficult. I would advise anyone considering a U.S. LL.M. to have a clear idea of why they want a U.S. LL.M.
The Amicus Interviews: Professor Petra Butler on International Commercial Arbitration, legal education & more
Research and writing are creative and the environment a researcher needs to flourish will be very individual. The best a university can do is to create an environment where there is space for each researcher to be creative.
First Person Accounts: Dr. Shashwat Bajpai on the BCL at the University of Oxford, legal education & more
If we can somehow emulate, let’s say the ‘Tutorial’ concept from the BCL course into the Indian legal education system (it’s a long shout, I know!), then we can truly have the National Law Universities/Law Schools amongst the most prestigious in the world.
The Alternates: Annie Philip, Saahas Zero Waste
We live in a world which really allows us to be innovative with the work we would like to do. So, take that risk to try out what you truly like. And don’t worry if things don’t work out, a law degree is a fantastic safety net and you can always come back to more traditional careers.
The LLM #Admission Interviews: Andrea McLeod-Karim, Victoria University of Wellington
While it is always disappointing to need to delay plans, students should remember that they’re not alone, there are thousands of students worldwide in a similar situation. They should choose the best option for them as per their safety, learning outcomes and the experience they’ll receive.
The Alternates: Divya Ramesh, Communications/Marketing Manager, OML

First Person Accounts: Stutee Nag on the IP LL.M. at the UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law

First Person Accounts: Vineet Hegde on the Georgetown LL.M., PhD at KU Leuven
I know I have also made some friends for life. I have taken up learning a new language, trying my hand at a musical instrument, abstract painting, reading books in my mother tongue etc. Bottomline: zero regrets.
