McGill vs. Dalhousie
I would push back slightly on this point. The name brand recognition of McGill is not the only good reason to attend the university, from an international law perspective. The roster of exceptional professors who have had impressive international careers is part of the reason as well, again, assuming a strong interest in international law. For example, there are former International Criminal Court prosecutors as professors, current sitting arbitrators for the ICC in Paris, Hong Kong, and Singapore, some profs have acted as lead drafters for ILO and UN Conventions and Treaties, I know of multiple professors who presented evidence for, or spoke at important in international fora like the UN, the OECD, the EU Parliament, etc. just during my time at the Faculty, multiple professors have chaired various UN Committees, and the list goes on. My point is that McGill has a roster of professors with significant work experience and connections in this area, who can help students navigate the very difficult path that is required to have a career in this area. McGill is also one of a handful of North American law schools that has been designated by the ICJ for the purposes of accepting clerkship applications for clerkship positions in the Hague at the Court, Montréal hosts a couple UN institutions, and the bijural and bilingual nature of the program lends itself well to work in international institutions. While I fully acknowledge that Dal is a fantastic school, and that the financial aid you have received from them is fantastic, and should most certainly factor into your decision, if you were to make a decision based solely on which school will open the greater number of opportunities for an international career, McGill is the clear choice between the two, in my opinion.- 3
