Have you ever watched Suits - an intriguing, fast paced drama depicting daily life of high profile lawyers in a partnership firm?
Imagine yourself as being one amongst them solving intricate cases and negotiating on behalf of your clients. Though this is just a television serial and that the real life is very much different from reel life, imagine the job satisfaction after negotiating a key merger deal for your client or finalizing legal structure to enable corporate to minimize its tax pay-outs and maximize its profits.
Does looking at boring and long documents, mulling over interpretations of complex laws and not calling off a day until you have finalize the clauses of the agreement interest you? For me, it's an adrenaline pumping work and makes me excited.
Law being my first choice of subject, the place which comes to my mind to pursue legal studies is Oxford. Considered as mecca for law studies, it is a dream for every individual to spend few years of his / her life at Oxford and learn law.
Oxford is rated as the best place to learn law and offers various courses and alternatives for students inspiring to pursue career in law. One of the post graduate courses which I found interesting is Masters in Law and Finance (MLF).
MLF has been recently launched in October 2010 and is jointly taught with the Said Business School. It offers legal students an opportunity to integrate study of finance with advanced legal study.
Having studied law and finance in India and worked mostly on the related deals, MLF is the obvious choice for me. It has 45 seats available in each batch and it's a challenge to get in with probability of getting the admission less than 20%. The batch size of 45, 10 months duration, 29 years average age of its students, optimum background of work and study amongst the student fits well with my criteria. The course also provides varied electives such as economics, taxation and competition.
MLF is surely my best bet for further studies in legal field in a country which is rich in knowledge, heritage and culture.
