[QUOTE="Juls, post: 26811, member: 5465"] Hi, Following the dual-LLB and Master 1 in English Law and French Law between King's College London and Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne University in France, I will be undertaking an LLM, because I genuinely enjoy studying law, because I want to develop expertise in arbitration, and because where I'm from, master's study is expected and normalised. I have offers at UChicago, NYU, Cornell, and Georgetown in the US and UCL in the UK and am having a hard time deciding which country I want to continue studying in. On the one hand, while the US is expensive it would be an enriching experience and I can take the NY bar, on the other hand, the UK is ultimately where I want to work. I know the LLM is less important than my LLB, but does it make a difference to law firms where I do my LLM? Will they appreciate the experience of having studied in the US and the skills studying a different legal system can teach you, or will it make no difference to them because it is irrelevant to the work they do under English law? Thanks so much in advance! Julie [/QUOTE]
