yarp - the nyu llm is not worth much by itself, it just demonstrates that u were one of top few in your first 2 years in NUS that u got selected.

The actual value of the degree isn't that high in terms of "oh I'm so smart" but it's a practical choice if you want to break into the US law market.

I would venture to say that it is more useful than alot of other degrees (except the oxbridge or harvard type llm). Because NYU is near wall street (literal proximity and being the best school in the city), it has strong connections to big law firms and fortune 500 type companies. Alot of NYU law grads are taken by big law firms due to ease and convenience, as well as established rep and a whole ton of NYU seniors who cherrypick more NYU juniors for their firms.

Any thoughts on the Lim Tean v Davinder Singh LHL defamation case going on rn

They only care about your overall GPA, and after that, whether you suck at your job (almost completely determined by personal character and meticulousness, and not what you learned). Go for whichever one gives the easiest A.

Then any suggestions on which modules gives the easiest As?

Don't expect to be spoonfed to such an extent leh, open your mouth and ask around. Everyone surely knows the easiest mods one, hint hint - those with less substantive content and those that aren't corp-related.

Obviously to each their own. However, try to avoid those mods that "high-flyers" flock towards, such as arbitration or M&A.

tbvh are most ppl here actual lawyers.. or u just know alot from where
