To study law in the United States, T 14 institutions are the first choice, including Yale, Stanford, Harvard, Chicago, new york University, Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, University of ann arbor in Michigan, Duke University, University of Virginia, Northwest University, UCB, Cornell University and Austin University in Texas. This 14 law school is divided into three groups, namely "YHS" group, "CCN" group and eight other schools.

The "YHS" group-Yale, Harvard and Stanford, the top of the top, has a particularly high gold content, which means that the world has special respect for JD or LLM from the top three. Of course, it is extremely difficult for international students to apply.

"CCN" group-Columbia University, University of Chicago, NYU. As Class 2 of T 14, the three schools have one thing in common: the location is particularly good. For law students, regardless of their academic level, good employment is also the key.

The remaining eight are directly listed as others. U Pen, U Michi, UVA, Duke and Cornell are all famous schools with unfavorable geographical position. The other three, the University of California, Berkeley, developed Pro Track LLM, which was completed in two summers. Northwest University, although it needs an interview, it is not particularly difficult to apply. The last one, Georgetown University, is located in the capital, only a few minutes away from Congress and the court, and it is easy to find an internship.

In addition to T 14 Law School, Tops recommends the following three schools:

1, Pepperdine University Law School

Strauss Dispute Resolution Research Center of Pepperdine University offers many LLM courses and provides training and conferences on dispute resolution. Pepperdine's international dispute settlement projects focus on mediation, arbitration and litigation. The school is currently ranked first in the dispute resolution direction of the best law school in American journalism.

2. Ohio State University Law School

Ohio State University offers a Master of Laws program in dispute resolution, focusing on employment, arbitration and international dispute resolution. The school is currently ranked second in the dispute resolution direction of the best law school in American journalism; The college has published hundreds of academic works in the field of international dispute settlement.

3. University of Missouri School of Law

The University of Missouri Law School has organized a series of publicity projects related to international dispute settlement, from publishing research works related to dispute settlement to setting up mediation offices. LLM program of this college was established in 1999, and it is also the earliest program to offer a master's degree in dispute resolution in the history of American law schools.

Choosing a law school in the United States needs to consider geographical factors. In fact, it doesn't matter which city or state your school is located in if you don't plan to stay in the United States after LLM graduation, or if you plan to go back to work in a local law firm after graduation. You should be more concerned about the popularity of this school in China, whether there are many alumni from your country, or whether many graduates have entered the law firm that you are interested in. However, since most law school graduates end up working in law firms located in the same region or state as the school, the location of the school may have an important impact on your career.
