I wish I was from one of those countries to partake in this, oh well, I still wouldn't mind going to Syracuse University, especially after how good of a picture Legal-Ease LLM news blog painted.
ReplyDeleteGreat bit of info guys. I am finding all of the schools listed on this site very valuable. I have been looking for the best law schools and I think Legal-Ease LLM blog is the place I'm going to call home until I find the right school for me.
ReplyDeleteAs for Syracuse University, it's going on my list of schools to look into. I live close to it too, so it wouldn't be a long trip.
I'm a bit late on this as well, but the info is very helpful to me as I hear nothing but great things on Syracuse and would love to attend one of these days if possible. Thanks Legal-Ease for sharing info on this school. If there's any more info you can share, please let me know, I'd love as much info as possible.
