not only is the salary... sad, but the ability to "take lessons" in an unlicensed, recognized by no one in the world, LL.M. (Master of Laws) "degree" issuing organization could be seen as fraud. as an often raised theme, "teaching" law without any kind of an educational license is a crime in several jurisdictions. and in my opinion, stealing from the gullible who think that they are getting a "degree" and the equally gullible who think that they are "teaching" there.
after all these years, with dozens and dozens of licensed teaching institutions in Moscow... MD... why don't you be a pal and give all the eager law students in Moscow the number of your license, please fill in the blank, No. __________________________________. just the license number, not the usual reasons that it's 1. OK to take real money for a "degre", but 2. no license is needed, b/c LL.M. is not a recognized degree in russia (incidentally, not true), as that explanation seems somewhat tortured. it is incidentally, a disbarment offense to "teach" law without accreditation in the jurisdiction where MD claims to have her license. in the spirit of the holiday season, what is the license number? and if not, why it takes 10 years not to get one when everyone else who teaches for money in Moscow seems to have no problem getting one? is it jealousy of the RF legal community? what would explain it? incidentally, i freely admit, that i am motivated solely by envy and jealousy, to spare myself the need to explain why "educational institutions" claiming to give out professional degrees need to have licensing. after all, what's the worst thing that could happen if lawyers were taught by unlicensed organizations: candidates embarrassed by degrees widely known in the professional community to be phony? folks losing their property and/or freedom and/or kids, well... what's the big deal, really? as I freely admit, MD is a NICE person. as to dogs. there is an actual dog run in Moscow with obstacles and everything. it is between the circle road and bolshaya gruzinskaya. it's fully fenced in, but I have no idea how one gets 'priviliges' there. _______________________________________________ Expat mailing list [email protected] http://www.lists.ru/mailman/listinfo/expat http://www.expat.ru/forum/
