Category: First Person Accounts

First Person Accounts are interviews with Indian law graduates who have pursued a post-masters course outside the country. Read FPAs to find out about the learning experience from different law schools across the world.

Be a student of the world around you: Sanjana Tikkoo, MBA (Tuck School of Business), BA LLB (Jamia Milia Islamia)

I wanted to add elements of decision orientation to my skills of process orientation and drive transactions instead of being driven by the process. So, I decided to get an MBA to round-out my skillset before moving over to investment banking.

I was convinced that the engaging style of the Socratic pedagogy and the focus on practical clinical education in the US was what I wanted.

First Person Accounts: Maitreyee Kulkarni on the LL.M. at Institute for Law & Finance

The most important and differentiating factor of the ILF LL.M. course was that the curriculum built in 2 months of mandatory internship.

First Person Accounts: Shanu Jain on the Geneva LL.M. in International Dispute Settlement (MIDS)

I would strongly recommend prospective applicants who wish to pursue LLM in the courses relating to dispute resolution/settlement to at least gain two years of experience, which must include some exposure to the trial-court advocacy.

First Person Accounts: Harleen Sethi on the IP & Tech Law LL.M. at the National University of Singapore (NUS)

My number one advice to any LL.M. applicant would be to be a 100% sure as to why you want to pursue your masters and what value addition will the course bring to the table.

First Person Accounts: Simran Singh on the IADR LL.M. at the National University of Singapore (NUS)

It is rightly put that true learning begins at the end of your comfort zone and that’s exactly how I’d like to quote my LLM experience

First Person Accounts: Anusha Ravishankar on the LL.M. application at SOAS

In this lifetime, at some point or the other, I wanted to study in SOAS because I’ve learnt from alumnus and professors alike that it is like the JNU of the world.

First Person Accounts: Akansha Singh on the MBA application at INSEAD

While the LLM has its own strong set of advantages for a lawyer, an MBA presents me with a unique opportunity to learn something entirely alien to lawyers.

First Person Accounts: Nimanniyu Sharma on the TADS LL.M., Sciences Po

At the end of the day, the market is tough. One’s hard work coupled with some luck (without the aid of any arbitration-specific Felix Felicis) may bear fruit only if and when the ‘right opportunity manifests at the right time’.

First Person Accounts: Adrija Mishra on the LL.M. from National University of Singapore (NUS)

I feel that a lot of times, applicants explain how the particular course would help them in their career but they do not focus on how they would be benefitting the university.

First Person Accounts: Tanya Tawakley on the J.D. at the University of Ottawa

Many people in India opt for the traditional LLM route but I realized that a degree that is geared more towards academia did not align with my goal of practicing abroad.

Some of my the people I know used the guidance of an LL.M. counsellor, instead I choose to call my friends and get after their life to proof read my SOP and give me their suggestions

The way law schools function and operate in the US blew my mind, especially their Socratic method of lectures.

For both graduates and students, I think it is crucial to understand the kind of financial commitment that an LL.M. would require.
