Life only gets better when you’re at NYU! Welcome, Class of 2022!

The Good, the Bad and the (Studying): Fall 2020 at NYU

These last few weeks of my first semester of the LLM at NYU have been a blur of finals studying and writing papers in the NYU Law Library, hopped up on too much caffeine and not enough sleep or vegetables...

But, as promised, I interviewed my fellow LLM’er, J (from Germany) about his thoughts on the semester! I managed to force this grilling on him while we were going to look at the stunning Christmas lights in the Dyker Heights neighborhood in Brooklyn, so this post will also feature some photos of the lights 🎉

Hi J! 

1. Can you describe your background before coming to NYU?

I attended Goethe University in Frankfurt (Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main) for my first law degree, and then pursued my PhD in financial crimes and economic regulation at Goethe as well. I am about to defend my PhD over the winter break, so I’m now back in Germany!

In Germany I worked as a research assistant at Goethe and for the Federal Ministry of Justice in Berlin; at several law firms; and as a judicial clerk. Just before leaving, I spent 6 months seconded to a large international bank in their Frankfurt office.

2. What is your area of interest?

White-collar crime and financial regulation.

3. What classes have you taken so far at NYU, and which one was your favorite?

I took a lot of classes this semester (more than the average!), including:

Graduate Lawyering;

Professional Responsibility in the Corporate Context (with Professor Harms, Of Counsel at Sullivan & Cromwell and a former partner between 1992 through 2017 in corporate and securities law);

Criminal Procedure: Fourth and Fifth Amendment (with Professor Schulhofer, a leading criminal justice scholar);

Corporate Crime and Financial Misdealing: Legal and Policy Analysis Seminar (with Professor Cooley, a former Deputy Chief of the Business and Securities Fraud Section at the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of NY);

Complex Federal Investigations (with Judge Orenstein, a United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of New York);

Beyond Criminal Justice Reform (with Professor Morgan, a criminal justice reform scholar and former civil rights litigator at the Abolitionist Law Center); and

Money and Modern Capitalism at NYU Stern School of Business (with Professor/Governor King and Professor Kanojia).

My favorite was Corporate Crime and Financial Misdealing. Professor Cooley was super nice and extremely smart, and the topic was excellent for white collar crime specialists. We also had a lot of fascinating guest speakers, which made networking really easy (like Federal judges, SEC employees, district attorneys from the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of NY, and partners from big law firms). 

4. What’s your top tip for LLM applicants putting the finishing touches on their applications for next year, or thinking about applying for 2022?

Well, this is too late for this year’s applicants, but for next year’s - leave a lot of time to have your documents sent to LSAC! I had a lot of issues with LSAC and spent a lot of hours on the phone with them about transcript issues (they wanted a transcript in German, although mine was issued in English?!). Take the stress off and deal with it early.

My next tip applies to anyone who is deciding on which LLM program they will ultimately attend after receiving their offers. I would recommend really taking the time to look closely at the subjects on offer at the different law schools. This was a huge factor for me in choosing between schools like NYU, UPenn, Virginia, Cornell, Berkeley and so on - aside from the appeal of living in New York City!

5. What activities have you been involved with at NYU?

I am a Research Assistant/Teaching Assistant to a Professor of Negotiation, and the Graduate Editor for the NYU Journal of Business & Law.

6. What was the best thing about this semester?

Meeting people from all over the world, in person and over Zoom, and making friends from NYU and Columbia. I now have friends from all over, including the UK, France, Australia, Israel, South Korea, Japan, Switzerland, India, Brazil and more... and there are far more students to meet who are arriving in January!

7. What was the most difficult thing about this semester?

Meeting other people, because connecting with people over Zoom was difficult. It was also harder to network over Zoom, because it just feels less natural.

8. Looking back on the semester (which could be described as out of the ordinary, at best!), are you happy with your decision to attend NYU this semester as planned and not defer?

It wasn’t really an option for me personally to defer for a whole year, and I’m happy I didn’t defer to Spring because the COVID situation has not improved. I’m pretty happy with how things have turned out though!

****

Thanks, J, for playing along!

A special congratulatory message from Debra Messing to our MA grads of 2020!

[amandeezyx]

I found you off your Twitter bc I searched NYU2020 and I was wondering what your gpa and SAT scores are? I'm sorry if that's invasive, NYU CAS is my dream next year

My ending hs GPA was a 96. junior year a 94. SAT was a cumulative 1930 (I took it twice) or 1860 highest score.

Congratulations to our MA graduates on this huge achievement! You did it!

Before I Graduate...

Four years ago we asked NYU students what they wanted to do before they graduate. This year, we did it again...

Above are images of a game I created with my partner, Melinda, called Attack Box. The first screen is the initial start screen, followed by the main screen where the action happens, and finally the end screen that appears when the user loses. 

The goal of the game is to attain as many points as possible, as tracked in the upper right hand corner of the main screen. To gain points, move the egg to catch the black box. If the egg touches a different colored box however, the user loses the game.

Below is a link to the code:

Congratulations to our APUG class of 2020! We’re so proud of you! You did it!

NYC is a big place with lots to do — and to a lot of newcomers, it can be pretty overwhelming. That’s why we narrowed down our favorite, must-do activities for all NYU freshmen out there. If you can complete all of these by the end of your first year, you know you’ve started college off the best way.

Lists for students studying abroad

Keep in mind: This is geared towards those studying abroad (and dorming) for at least one year. My dorm room has two beds and linens, closet space but no drawers, two desks with shelving, two desk chairs, a private bathroom with towels, kitchenette with pots and pans, and small eating table with chairs. 

What I’m glad I brought from home: 

A pillow and blankets from my bed

Pictures and postcards to hang up

A nice, fluffy towel

A speaker

Large shampoo and conditioner with pump

A small stand-up cosmetic mirror

Clothes hamper-- the mesh kind that can be easily compacted

Fabric storage cubes-- one used to store miscellaneous things, the other for socks and underwear

Command hooks-- good for hanging bags, necklaces, and jackets to free up closet space

Hanging closet shoe organizer-- In addition to shoes, I use the space to store wallets and purses, scarves, and sportswear. 

Mason jars-- for storing pens, pencils, jewelry, and cotton balls

Peanut butter, American candy, and Asian snacks

Rice cooker-- a gift from the heavens

Necessary items purchased in Paris (so far):

Duvet and pillow cover and bed sheets-- Monoprix is a life saver

A lamp

Multiple plug socket

Cleaning supplies--such as sponges, disinfecting wipes, small dust pan and broom, and dish soap

Plastic box for storing toiletries in bathroom

Small tupperware-- for bringing lunch to school

Duster

Laundry detergent

Garbage cans-- one for the kitchen, another for the bathroom. We purchased ours cheap at a local bazaar. 

What I still really need:

A rug

A bath mat

A vacuum or Swiffer-- hardwood floors get gross really quickly

After several lines of code, ranging from arcs to ellipses and color fills to size adjustments, I have created a self-portrait in Processing.
