I had to leave Galway and I didn't have enough time to find someone to take my bicycle, so it's sitting locked somewhere in the city. It's in great working condition and It was a good size for me (5'5" adult) Comes with lock and helmet. Send me a PM if you're interested and I'll text you the lock combo and where to find it!
Right now, I'm doing a LLM in public international law in Europe since I was offered funding for it, but I'm originally from the US and graduated with a 3.7 GPA in my bachelors of legal studies. I'm on track to graduate from my LLM with a 3.9 GPA with extensive legal research experience and internships at different law offices. I want to return to the US and get a JD so I can practice law stateside, and I'm wondering if anyone here has had a similar application?
I'm mainly asking if having the LLM will boost my chances of getting into a T14 or a full ride elsewhere, or if I will be mainly considered based on my performance in undergrad.
A little background about myself:
I graduated from my undergrad with a 3.7 GPA and currently I'm doing a master of laws, on track to graduate with similar grades. I'm really enjoying the independent research aspect of my masters, so I intend to apply for PhD programs this coming application cycle, primarily in the US and Canada.
I have heard from professors before and have been encouraged to submit the papers I wrote for coursework to academic journals, but at the same time, I was warned how selective the process can be to ultimately be selected for publication. I have been told that already having a publication in my name will open many doors in terms of acceptances, but I am wondering if anyone has any insight on how much prior publications matter to be admitted into top PhD programs in law?
