Sebastian Kornhauser - LLM 2018

What would you consider to be the highlight of your time studying at UCL Laws?

One of the modules I took as part of my LLM course at UCL was “Judges, Courts and Judicial Decision Making”. The module included teaching from several prominent experts from the judiciary.

How did hearing from external speakers enrich your learning experience?

Sir Anthony Hooper, a senior judge at the Court of Appeal in London, was one of the contributors. He was an excellent instructor and transferred knowledge about how to be a good judge; he also reflected on many years of his professional experience. It was critical enlightenment which a graduate student would not ordinarily benefit from on a ‘lecture-and-textbook’ module.

How has studying in the heart of legal London benefited your studies?

Due to London’s institutional, historical and legal prominence, the capital city has a concentration of experts who are easier to access. Studying in London provides convenient, strategic and direct access to expertise and to the multitude of experts one would not easily obtain if based in another city. For me, studying an LLM in London was a natural choice which did not require second thought.
