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.

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.

From the comments around half are real, and half seem to be trolls. But of course, I'm getting annoyed reading the troll comments.. So maybe more and more lawyers will stop reading.

Any tips on how to survive as a newbie?

I dont get it. I've been working at a medium sized law firm for the last few months and the culture is just ****ed up. I knew it was bad but I didnt know it was this bad. Why does anyone subject themselves to this life? For money?? For prestige???

Hats off if you can survive cause I'm seriously dying here and need advice.

Some genuinely like it. Some are good at it. Some are just naturally competitive. Some care about prestige and money.

But i think some also don't have other options (or don't know that there are other options). Perhaps you think this way because you know that you have other options.
