Law school in the USA

Students and lawyers interested in pursuing an LLM degree stateside are invited to an event in London this week with representatives from 20 top US law schools.

The LLM Fair 2019 takes place on 7 November, is free to attend and features admissions officers from UCLA, Cornell Law School, the University of Colorado Boulder, the University of Michigan, Washburn University and more. The event offers an opportunity to meet with US admissions reps and explore LLM degree options in the US. Many of the law schools in attendance are able to provide scholarships and other funding to international students.

The LLM Fair will be hosted by the US-UK Fulbright Commission, a non-profit organisation which works to foster intercultural understanding through educational exchange. The Commission offers UK students free, comprehensive, impartial support and advice about opportunities to study at accredited universities in the USA.

Kirsty Callaghan, EducationUSA adviser at the US-UK Fulbright Commission, said: ‘This is a great opportunity for those interested in pursuing an LLM to meet admissions reps from a variety of top law schools in one place, right here in central London. The event will be particularly useful for working lawyers interested in deepening their practice in a specific area of the law, GDL students or those who are on training contracts and LPCs.’

The event will take place from 4:30pm-7:30pm on 7 November at the Law Society on Chancery Lane. Registration is free but required: http://bit.ly/LLMfair.
