What are the best universities for studying International Law?

Graduate School Law School

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>After a few months of ignoring CC, I'm back on with a vengeance. I was rejected at Yale, Princeton, and Georgetown for undergraduate :(, but what I learned from that experience was invaluable. I felt that I could have started earlier in highschool preparing my application for those top schools. So now, with my sights set on law school, I'm gonna start freshman year (even pre-freshman year) getting ready for law school. </p>

<p>I have an interest in studying international law. What are the best universities for studying international law? I know the rankings...I've looked them up before. But does anyone have experience at the top law schools? I'm looking more for experience and first hand "testimonials" so to speak. </p>

<p>I am obviously a real newbie, so any thoughts and advice is most welcome. </p>

<p>Thanks to all!</p>

<p>Study whatever you want in college. Int’l law is a very broad category of law-for example, an int’l customs/corporate taxation lawyer is going to need different skill sets than an int’l human rights lawyer for example. But if you’re a freshman, focus on getting good grades, plenty of time to think about law school later.</p>

<p>Don’t you usually do a JD/LLM in international law… I am interested in this as well… From what I’ve seen most of the top programs in this are offering a 4 year combo JD/LLM in
the usual top schools are up there for best…
Anyway I would probably do your undergrad in Philosophy, Economics, etc… then do law school</p>

<p>^I’m majoring in political science (I want to be involved in politics when all is said and done) and minoring in economics.</p>

<p>What do you mean by international law? What is it that you are thinking of doing as a lawyer? Do you want to work for the UN or some other international organization? Do you want to do international (aka cross-border) transactional work? Do you want want to work in a human rights organization?</p>
