Specifically interested in the Cambridge LLM because of personal reasons. Would it make a difference to my profile and appeal to recruiters and firms (both international and local), and is the Cambridge LLM significantly less prestigious than the Harvard LLM or Oxford BCL. I see a number of judges having the Cambridge LLM, but I keep hearing that the other two are much highly regarded.
Appreciate any constructive views given the financial costs involved. Thanks a million in advance!

Cambridge LLM is slightly less prestigious but it doesn't really matter from a private practice standpoint, as employers care more about your experience and grades. All three are considered brand name unis and which you choose won't be the deciding factor.
