Factors to consider for an LL.M
There are many factors to take
in to account. Forgetting about the basics like price, the task of
leaving home and the inescapable need to master the English language,
there are other huge factors to examine; is it
ABA accredited? What are the employment prospects like? Is the faculty reliable?
Ranking
This
is a controversial, yet undeniably vital topic. A lot of people argue
that law school rankings are unfair, biased or completely wrong.
However, the schools that are truly good will always be near the top.
There are about 200 ABA-approved law schools in the U.S.

Ask yourself where you see
yourself spending the next year of your life, possibly longer if a job
opportunity arises after graduation.
Another thing to consider is
the type of atmosphere you want your U.S. graduate experience to be
like. Do you want a campus atmosphere or a city life.
Career Services
The
general assumption is that anyone who goes to law school would like to
get a good job in the legal arena, right? It’s a lot easier to get this
when you have a good career service behind you. The faculty of the law
schools you are considering need to be at the top of their game, with
extensive knowledge of both the law and the legal industry. There needs
to be communication from the faculty with alumni and other contacts.
This provides the groundwork for your future opportunities and
employment.
Cost
. They can range from $25,000
to as much as $82,000 in the USA. Law school tuition can seem insane,
but there is help available.
A
scholarship greatly aids you in your
attempt to pay off tuition fees and also looks great on a
resume.
