2012 Land Rover Range Rover Expert Review:Autoblog
Tasmanian Devil In A Tailored Suit
Prior to our stint with the 2011 Range Rover Supercharged, we enjoyed some time with a Jaguar XKR. The Jag and the Rover have the same supercharged 5.0-liter V8 and about the same six-figure price tag, which led a friend to ask which vehicle we'd prefer to own. Without hesitation, this author's answer is the one you'd willingly take off-road. The supercharged Rover has more than enough power to be an exhilarating drive, is extremely capable off road and has room to spare for family, friends, pets, groceries and golf clubs. It just makes more sense than the Jag. Sense, however, usually doesn't factor in when you're making a four-wheeled wish list, so we took our friend for a ride, after which he hopped out with a smirk and said, "I'd take the Rover, too..."
This particular Landie is the latest iteration of Land Rover's most famous sport utility vehicle. Sold alongside the same model with a naturally aspirated version of its 5.0-liter V8, the Supercharged is perhaps not as visually athletic to behold as the Range Rover Sport, or the Jaguar XKR for that matter, but it's just as powerful as both and can carry more cargo. Which makes the 2011 Range Rover Supercharged an Alex Trebec-approved answer to the clue, "A $102,365 vehicle famous for off-roading that does things on road you didn't know it could."

The Range Rover received a major overhaul in 2002, and Land Rover has refined and tweaked the vehicle ever since to keep it fresh. It was significantly updated for the 2010 model year, which coincided with the 5.0-liter V8's arrival, a delightful engine that has found its way under the hood of most Land Rover and Jaguar products. For 2011, the Range Rover has again been tweaked, but with a lighter touch and only where it matters most. Let's start with the outside.
Range Rovers have always been boxy, like the auto industry's take on a bar of gold: simple, heavy and expensive. Its upright grille and vertical slabs of sheetmetal accentuate its towering presence, as the rest of the lines move backward in a perfectly parallel manner. Look closer, however, and you'll see the designers have built in a few subtle curves, most noticeably in the slight hood creases and subtly flared fenders filled by 20-inch, 10-spoke aluminum alloy wheels. 2011 models also sport new headlamps and a set of LED taillamps that turn from bright to brilliant when the sun retires.
While the exterior of the Range Rover Supercharged melds tradition with the modern era, its interior pushes further into the future. The tech-laden cabin is incredibly welcoming and swathed in a mixture of top-shelf textures. Like metal? You'll enjoy the shifter, pedals and countless metal accents throughout the cabin. In the case of our tester, you'll also find a dark Black Lacquer Finish trim that contrasts nicely with the shiny bits. Finally, an abundance of soft Ivory-colored leather creates a transition between the other two materials and adds some warmth to the cabin. Our tester also featured Arabica Oxford hides with contrasting stitching and white piping on the seats. The cornucopia of colors and textures works surprisingly well; owners who have interior decorators on retainer should feel right at home.
The Range Rover's high seating position and abundance of glass provide lighthouse attendant levels of visibility, while the power-adjustable front seats are a Recaro-meets-La-Z-Boy mix of capable and comfortable. They also offer both heating and cooling to help keep bottom temperatures in the zone. When the latter is switched on, the cooling fans are clearly audible, but that's the price you pay for cold buns. Back seat passengers may miss out on the cooling experience, but the heated rear seats are adequate for people over six-feet tall and also recline.
Located in the center of the dashboard sits a clean stack of controls that mimics the upright nature of the Land Rover's exterior. Its borders run vertically up from the transmission tunnel, disappearing for a brief moment behind a stretch of Ivory leather, and then reappear to frame the touchscreen interface. That seven-inch display is crisp and the menus easy to operate – the learning curve is minimal despite the multitude of features available. One of those is the optional upgraded HarmonKardon audio system with 1200 watts of clear surround sound joy pumped through 19 speakers. We took a spin through a varied music catalog courtesy of local FM stations, satellite radio and an iPod, with each audio source coming through crisply, even when the volume knob was set to Pete Townsend. The one sour note we experienced was the longer-than-normal delay when switching between satellite radio stations, a complaint we seem to have with all Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles that share the same infotainment architecture.
With last year's upgrades, Land Rover elected to ditch the instrument panel's analog gauges in favor of a new 12.3-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) screen. These digital gauges are incredibly easy to read during the day or night and also feature a menu to adjust a variety of vehicle settings. While digital gauges go all the way back to the '80s, today's versions are more like small computer screens running sophisticated software than the Timex-inspired iterations of yesteryear. As such, we asked Land Rover what would happen if the Range Rover's TFT malfunctioned and were told one of two outcomes were possible. The vehicle would still be drivable if just the screen went out, but if there were a major malfunction with the entire instrument pack, which feeds information to the vehicle's security system, then it may not start.
The Range Rover SC's interior and tech are top notch, but one thing we need to take issue with is the key fob. It's roughly the size and weight of a bar of Lava soap. That wouldn't be that bad if the key could stay in your pocket, but the Range Rover doesn't sense the key when you approach, so it must be taken out to unlock the doors. This sounds like we're whining about a very minor problem, and we are, but if a $20,000 Nissan Altima knows when we're standing next to it, a $103,000 luxury SUV should be able to do the same.
The key issue disappears quickly, however, once the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 is lit and you're underway. A brand-new six-speed automatic transmission sends all 510 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque to the rubber sitting at each corner, with peak torque available from 2,500 rpm through 5,550 rpm. This Rover pulls like it's drinking diesel, and even sounds a bit like it at idle. When we could pry our ears away from the sound system, we even heard the faint whine of the supercharger. The run to 60 miles per hour from a standstill takes place in a hair under six seconds – surprisingly exciting for a stylish brick that weighs a key-fob under 5,900 pounds.
While the engine works its magic, the Range Rover Supercharged's air suspension also has a multitude of tricks up its sleeve that range from basic to brilliant. On the standard side of the ledger, it can raise or lower the 'ute from its normal driving height of 9.1 inches. Access height drops the car a few inches to help folks get in and out, while Off-road Mode increases ground clearance by two inches to 11.1. On the brilliant end of the spectrum is Terrain Response. If you're using a Range Rover the way the blokes from Gaydon intended, then you'll encounter road conditions other than flat and smooth. Terrain Response is ready to help out with settings for Rock Crawl, Mud and Ruts, Sand, Grass/Gravel/Snow and the standard roadgoing setting. It sounds gimmicky, but works wonderfully. The system controls the vehicle's braking, throttle response and engine speed to make sure the Range Rover goes exactly where you intend.
Since many owners rarely stray off the beaten path, Land Rover has honed its SUV to be just as competent on the road. Remember the guy shaped like a house who threw discus back in high school? Now imagine him in a foot race with Usain Bolt. That's what it feels like driving the Range Rover Supercharged. When your shoe meets the gas and the pedal hits the carpet, your back meets the seat and your brain takes a shot of dopamine. It's an intoxicating process that you'll want to repeat over and over. This, of course, came back to bite us at the gas pump, where we recorded an average fuel economy of just 10 miles per gallon. The 2011 Range Rover Supercharged is rated by the Environmental Protection Agency at 12 mpg in the city and 19 on the highway, both of which we're sure is possible when less fun is being had behind the wheel.
That all-new six-speed automatic does a sublime job of channeling power to the wheels, particularly in Sport mode, where the gear changes happen quickly, but don't snap necks against headrests. When the speed needs to be reeled in, gargantuan 15-inch front rotors with six-piston calipers and 14.4-inch discs at the back will have you straining against physics... and your seat belt.
All told, this latest incarnation of the Range Rover Supercharged has evolved nicely without losing sight of where it comes from. But does a $103,000 SUV make sense? When compared to something like the Jaguar XKR, a good argument can certainly be made. Most buyers, however, are going to cross shop the Range Rover Supercharged with vehicles like the BMW X5 M, Porsche Cayenne Turbo and Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG. All feature similar price tags around the $100,000 mark, big V8s with over 500 horsepower and driving experiences that confound expectations. Yes, the Range Rover is the heaviest in this group and also the slowest. But it also offers the most interior cargo room, is by no means tardy, and comes packing an English manor full of enviable off-road lineage and character as standard-fit.
If those qualities matter more to you than owning the quickest premium sport-ute, then this $103,000 SUV still makes a degree of sense. However, when it comes to talking about triple-digit SUVs, 'sense' probably never enters into the minds of would-be customers. But when one can afford to view life from a Range Rover's regal perch, they can also afford not to care – and that may be the greatest luxury of all.

New Car Test Drive
Luxurious and capable, the ultimate Range Rover.
The Range Rover represents the top of the line for Land Rover. The current-generation Range Rover has been with us nearly 10 years, since the 2003 model year, yet it still feels fresh, it still feels like a superb vehicle, and it's still one of our favorite new vehicles. It's classy and luxurious, it's smooth, it's incredibly powerful particularly in supercharged form, and it is amazingly capable off road.
The 2012 Range Rover lineup includes a new top-line model called the Autobiography Ultimate Edition. Swathed in soft-feel semi-aniline leather, its four power-adjustable bucket seats flank a full-length console that incorporates a machined aluminum laptop table, a drink chiller, separate rear-seat climate controls and more. Two Apple iPads are linked to the rear-seat entertainment system. Oxford leather covers the door casings, dashboard, and steering wheel, and the wood inlays in the dash and doors is genuine Kalahari. Even the luggage floor is special, paneled like speedboat's deck in teak, with metal and leather detailing. Each Autobiography Ultimate Edition will be built to order, and only 500 will be sold globally.
2012 Range Rovers come with HD Radio and an iPod lead, and a new Towing Package is available.
The Range Rover's off-road capability is downright astounding, thanks to its Terrain Response electronic all-wheel drive and suspension system. The system includes Hill Start Assist and Gradient Acceleration Control. Range Rovers can scramble up rocky mountainsides, cross rivers and traverse mud bogs. They are easy to drive and instill confidence.
The Range Rover interior is rich and beautiful. There are premium materials everywhere you look and touch. The leather seats are tall and supportive in all the right places, and there is a nearly infinite amount of adjustment. The steering wheel carries buttons galore for cruise control, telephone and audio, two of which are up-down-left-right selectors for display and information functions. All the rotary switches on the instrument panel are hefty, and scalloped so they can be used with gloved hands. Options include power reclining rear seats and a 1200-watt harman/kardon sound system.
For 2012, the 5.0-liter V8 engine offers more power, now rated at 385 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. Land Rover says it can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 7.2 seconds. That is plenty fast for anyone in the real world, and plenty impressive for a 5700-pound vehicle. We found the engine beautifully smooth.
The Range Rover Supercharged model blows 510 horsepower out of the engine and gets to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds. We found the performance of the Supercharged Range Rover scintillating. It's an off-road rocket ship, with 460 pound-feet of torque available for passing or towing.
All Range Rover models come with a 6-speed automatic transmission that's velvety smooth yet very responsive.
The Supercharged uses powerful six-piston Brembo brakes, which will slow the truck safely whether braking repeatedly down a curvy mountain road or coming to a straight, quick stop from high speed. Naturally, they're supported by a sophisticated anti-lock brake system that's behind Hill Descent Control and Gradient Acceleration Control. Both are features that enhance safety on icy streets, not just off road.
We've found few four-wheel-drive vehicles combine this level of acceleration and braking with a hushed, plush highway ride in a roomy cocoon of high-grade leather and wood. Whether crossing the Gobi Desert at night or negotiating Manhattan during the daily rush, the Range Rover is at ease.
The 2012 Range Rover HSE ($80,725) comes standard with leather upholstery, 710-watt 14-speaker harman/kardon sound system, hard-drive navigation with 7-inch touch screen, rearview camera, Xenon headlights, front and rear foglights, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, three-zone automatic climate control, power sunroof.
Options include rear seat entertainment ($2,500); Vision Assist Package, including blind spot monitoring, adaptive headlamps, surround camera and high-beam assist ($1,800); a 1200-watt, 19-speaker harman/kardon sound system ($1,350); and a Tow Prep/Utility Package ($2,000) consisting of a locking rear differential, full-size spare tire and Adaptive Dynamics suspension.
The Luxury Package ($4,370) upgrades the HSE with 14-way heated and cooled front seats, premium leather, wood trim on the center console, storage in center and overhead consoles, Sirius satellite radio, auto-dimming exterior mirrors, storage nets, and 20-inch wheels.
Range Rover Supercharged ($95,670) comes with the supercharged engine, the big Brembo brakes, Adaptive Dynamics (continuously variable suspension tuning), 14-way adjustable front seats, more interior wood trim, stainless steel pedals, and chrome exhaust tips.
Supercharged models and HSE models with the Luxury Package share a number of options, including power reclining rear seats with memory ($1,250); and the new Silver Package ($3,300) consisting of the 1200-watt stereo, Windsor leather seating surfaces, four-zone climate control with climate glass, and unique 20-inch, seven-V-spoke alloy wheels. Exclusive to the Supercharged model is adaptive cruise control with Collision Mitigation by Braking ($2000).
Range Rover Autobiography ($126,665) builds on the Supercharged model with its own unique styling, plus the 1200-watt 19-speaker harman/kardon 6CD HD radio; semi-aniline leather seats with heat and climate control, front and rear; full leather trim; special headliner; 14-piece wood trim; four-zone climate control; rear seat entertainment system with 6DVD changer; adaptive cruise control with Collision Mitigation by Braking; and diamond-turned 20-inch wheels. Chrome wheels, previously an extra-cost option, are now available at no charge, as are last-year's extra-cost wood trims.
Just 500 Autobiography Ultimate Editions ($170,000) will be built to order, featuring a four-bucket-seat interior with a full-length center console that incorporates a machined aluminum laptop table and drink chiller. Two Apple iPads are linked to the rear-seat entertainment system. Oxford leather covers the door casings, dashboard, and steering wheel, and the wood inlays in the dash and doors are genuine Kalahari. Even the luggage floor is special, paneled in yacht-like teak with metal and leather detailing.
Safety features that come standard include seven airbags, stability control with traction control and yaw control, anti-lock brakes, Hill Descent Control, Acceleration Gradient Control, tire pressure monitor, collapsible steering column, and rearview camera.
After a moderate facelift for 2010 and new grille textures for 2011, appearance changes for 2012 are minor. Door handles and side grilles are now body-color, while all lamp clusters acquire gloss black backplates for sharper contrast.
The Range Rover design remains distinctive among SUVs, boxy and sleek at the same time, very classy.
It has the shortest possible front and rear overhangs to maintain its awesome off-road clearances. Modest fender flares are integrated into the steel fenders rather than tacked on.
Autobiography Ultimate Edition is distinguished by a unique, deeper front fascia that more sharply defines the lower air opening, wrapping body color around it rather than just over its top, as on the standard models. Matching upper and lower grilles go for the hot-rod Bentley look with a plain mesh that resembles, frankly, a chain-link fence in its texture, but with a brighter finish of course. The foglight nacelles are more prominent and bright-finished as well.
The trademark fender vents are accented with brightwork. Politely short sill extensions visually connect the front and rear wheels, suggesting a running board more than anything racy. Like the deeper front fascia, they are not unattractive so much as out of place on an ultimate off-roader.
Half a dozen different wheel styles are available, but the most striking features nine pairs of alternating thick and thin spokes (for 18 spokes in all), set tangentially to the hub. They look like they're spinning even when they're standing still. We prefer the more traditional styles.
The teak-plank cargo floor looks quite convincingly like the deck of an antique yacht or speedboat. The planking continues on the inside of the fold-down tailgate, so opening the tailgate enhances, rather than spoils, the effect.
The Range Rover interior is rich and beautiful. Premium materials are everywhere you look and touch. There's European leather on the headliner, pillars, and door casings. High quality satin black and natural wood trim adds to the sumptuous feel of the interior. The HSE offers Burr Walnut or Cherry wood trim and both are pretty. The Black Lacquer looks impressive when clean, but it quickly shows dirt and we prefer the traditional woods.
A 12-inch Thin Film Transistor screen replaces the usual instrument cluster. This screen displays the tach, speedo and other instruments virtually. The driver is able to move the gauges around on the screen for more convenient off-road operation. It's bright, clear, interesting and versatile.
The front leather seats are tall and supportive in all the right places, and there is a nearly infinite amount of adjustment. The steering wheel carries buttons galore for cruise control, telephone and audio, two of which are up-down-left-right selectors for display and information functions. All the rotary switches on the instrument panel are hefty, and scalloped so they can be used with gloved hands.
The window glass in the rear doors is laminated to enhance the silent running in the back seat. Power reclining of the rear seat, in addition to heating and cooling, is available.
The 710-watt, 14-speaker harman/kardon system that comes standard produces chamber-like sound. A 1200-watt, 19-speaker system is optional. The available rear seat entertainment system includes a 6 DVD changer, separate screens in the front seatbacks, and headphones.
The elaborate full-length console in the Autobiography Ultimate Edition incorporates, among other things, a small writing (or laptop) desk and a cooler with a slide-open top. Inside are holders for a couple of glasses (sized just right for cupholders that look as bright and solid as machined billet) and a bottle of your favorite back-seat beverage. It's really a striking bit of functional sculpture that looks, above all, convincingly expensive.
The Terrain Response system, controlled by a click-wheel on the console, allows the driver to select among six chassis setups, depending on the terrain being traversed. Height control allows the driver to lower the body of the Range Rover for easy entry of passengers or raise it for off-road clearance. A third control allows for locking the center and rear differentials for demanding off-road conditions or icy on-road driving. There is a separate switch for Hill Descent Control, the system that restricts downhill speed to 2 mph on any grade without touching the brakes. In any off-road mode, a set of icons is displayed on the TFT screen showing the front tire steering angle and the locked/unlocked differential positions, so the driver always knows what's what when driving off-road.
Using the height control to lower the Range Rover is a great aid when loading dogs and cargo.
Driving Impression
All Range Rover models use the same compact 5.0-liter V8 that powers Jaguar sedans, with the latest technology including double overhead cams, 32 valves, variable valve timing, and direct fuel injection. The Range Rover engines are specially prepared to handle extreme tilts, water fording and extreme weather conditions.
The Range Rover HSE uses a normally aspirated 385 horsepower version with 380 foot-pounds of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds, a pace that's more than quick enough for safe passing. The engine sounds wonderful and feels blissfully smooth at full throttle, and is nearly soundless at cruising speeds.
The Range Rover Supercharged takes that engine and adds the latest generation of Eaton supercharger, boosting the power to 510 horsepower and 461 foot-pounds of torque. The acceleration leaps from 0 to 60 in 5.9 seconds, which is hot rod territory, for this SUV weighing nearly three tons.
All models use a ZF 6-speed automatic transmission, which features Normal, Sport and Manual modes. We found it effortless and unrestrained, and it shifts quickly in response to throttle input. There's a two-speed locking transfer case that can be shifted on the fly.
The steering and suspension systems are nearly faultless, as long as you're not trying to treat the big SUV like it's a sports car. Lots of power-steering assist is needed for quick left-right moves at low speeds and off-road, but less is needed as speeds climb. The Range Rover is a tall, heavy vehicle, but it takes extreme maneuvers in stride. It works better to drive it in a stately manner.
We found the ride quality of the Range Rover HSE to be about perfect. The suspension uses electronically controlled air springs and shock absorbers. We found the HSE provided excellent handling and little body roll in corners, especially for a hefty truck that rides this high off the ground and has a high center of gravity. The ride is smooth and the steering response is good, if not sports-car-like. It's a wonderful mix of luxury, silence and serenity.
But it should be. Listen to all the things working for you: Dynamic systems include All-terrain Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Enhanced Understeer Control (EUC), Electronic Rear Brake Boost (ERBB), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Roll Stability Control (RSC), Hill Descent Control (HDC) and Gradient Release Control (GRC), Hill Start Assist (HSA) and Gradient Acceleration Control (GAC). It's a lot of alphabet soup, but it all works together both to increase capability and to make up for occasional deficiencies in the driving department.
The Terrain Response system has five settings: Highway, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts, Sand, and Rock Crawl. All you have to do is look out the windshield, assess the terrain, and select the appropriate setting. The Range Rover will drive accordingly, including setting the suspension height.
We also got to test drive a Range Rover Supercharged model. Just going down the highway, it was delightful. The huge tires are very quiet, and they combine with the electronically controlled air suspension and premium Bilstein Damptronic adaptive damping shock absorbers to deliver an extremely plush luxury-car ride, sampling the roadway 500 times per second and changing shock rates accordingly, each corner acting independently of the other three.
In consideration of its 140-mph top speed, the brakes on the Supercharged are big Brembos, with six-piston calipers in front. We found them extremely powerful, and very progressive and sensitive to conditions.
The 2012 Range Rover is luxurious, powerful, smooth, classy and extremely safe, with offroad capability that's off the chart and handling that's downright nimble for a 5700-pound truck. It uses a 5.0-liter V8 made by Jaguar, with an excellent 6-speed automatic transmission. The standard Range Rover HSE has plenty of performance. The Supercharged model makes 510 horsepower and blows your mind.

European Court of JusticePerhaps it would be wiser to take your LLM degree in EU Law from a European law school if you intend to become a judge at the European Court of Justice. Look for law schools that specialise in EU Law, or specifically in European Human Rights Law, EU Trade Law. European law schools would tend to specialise in these areas and prepare one to assume responsibilities within the EU, including that of the European Court of Justice.

European Court of JusticeI would recommend to take a closer look at the European University Insitute (EUI) near Florence, Italy, and its LL.M.-program.
Sun Dec 28, 2008 12:27 PM
Due to the very limited number of students it's surely hard to get accepted there. It is, however, a highly respected institution (particularly among academics from Europe and also from the US) that is, allegedly, situated in extremely beautiful premises and surroundings. Famous professors teach at EUI. For EU/EC law, I think EUI's LL.M.-program belongs to the most prestigious courses you can do.
Besides EUI, also Oxford's MJur and Cambridge's LL.M. won't harm your career either.

For EU/EC law, I think EUI's LL.M.-program belongs to the most prestigious courses you can do.
Coming from a science background where doctoral-level studies is the only way to go for career advancement, I've always wondered why the PhD or the more law-specific SJD doesn't seem to hold the same value in the legal field. When you speak of the LLM, are you talking about coursework LLM or research LLM?

European Court of JusticeMost LLM Programmes are coursework-based. There are quite a few research LLMs, often referred to as MPhils in the U.K. Stanford has a research LLM which they call the JSM (Juris Scientia Magister or Master of Juridical Science) to differentiate it from its coursework LLM programme.

A person who studies law and intends to practice his profession only requires the JD (BA in Law, LLB, Licenciado en Derecho, in other jurisdictions). The JD (Juris Doctor) is a professional doctorate in law which enables one to qualify and practice law in a particular jurisdiction.
The SJD, on the other hand, is an academic doctorate in law (Scientia Juris Doctor or Doctor of Juridical Science) which is intended for those law graduates to engage in legal scholarship (law research). It is the highest academic degree available to graduates of the JD (or the equivalent law degree from other jurisdictions). The LLM is the usual path by which a lawyer may register for the SJD programme, although it is not necessary for a lawyer to earn an LLM prior to entering the SJD programme. Some JDs (or LLBs) may choose to go straight to the SJD programme.

European Court of JusticeI understand all that OpinioJuris but my question was and still is: 'Why doesn't the PhD or SJD hold the same value for career advancement in the legal field'. I see that neither is mentioned in the posts above at all. I can only assume that LLMs spoken of above are coursework LLMs.

European Court of JusticeThe paradox is that the SJD, and for that matter the LLM, earned in U.S. law schools, have more value for career advancement in law OUTSIDE the United States. My impression is that the LLM and SJD are perceived to be "foreigner" degrees as opposed to the JD, which is perceived to be an "American" degree providing for training in the common law. Being an "American" degree, the JD is "preferred" as the main qualification for entry into a U.S. law firm or as a professor in an U.S. law school.
Sat Jan 03, 2009 09:12 AM
Most of the LLMs and SJDs who are "foreigners" are "expected" to go back to their respective countries upon completion of their degree. Armed with their LLMs and SJDs, most advance to the higher echelons of the legal profession, whether as law firm partners, law professors, legal scholars, judges, justices, senators or even CEOs of corporations.
A prime example of a Briish law graduate who pursued her doctorate in the U.S. is Lady Rosalyn Higgins, President of the International Court of Justice and internationally-recognized authority on international human rights law, who earned her JSD from Yale Law School. Prior to her election to the International Court of Justice, Lady Higgins was a renowned professor of international law at the London School of Economics.
If you read the roster of LLM and SJD students at the leading U.S. law schools, you will notice that at least 90% are from countries outside the United States. Only about 10% come from the United States.
Another impression is that legal training from the JD to the SJD require an individual to do legal research. The research done by the JDs is in a subject of the common law (most of the states in the U.S. are common law jurisdictions). As can be gleaned, the practice and the teaching of law revolves around the common law system of the U.S. Research undertaken by the JDs are of more value to U.S. law firms and law schools than those undertaken by lawyers who may not have prior training in the common law (most LLMs and SJDs come from civil law jurisdictions, except those from the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth, which share the common law tradition with the United States).
The LLMs and SJDs, in addition to what has been discussed, often pursue research in the international aspects of the law, whether in commercial law, taxation or human rights for employment in international organizations or institutions found in their home countries. More often than not, the topic of the masteral thesis or the doctoral dissertation would not involve a common law topic, but rather, a topic which necessarily includes the specific research interest of the graduate student, discussing national and international legal issues which may be of greater relevance to one's home country than to the United States. Furthermore, an SJD dissertation tends to highlight the differences in various legal systems from a number of jurisdictions.
Note that even in U.S. foreign policy the "generally-accepted principles of international law" are not even recognized as binding on the United States before the turn of the 20th century. It has only been in recent U.S. Supreme Court jurisprudence that principles in international law (specifically, international human rights and international humanitarian law) have been recognized as "part of American law."
Call it "perception", "culture", "tradition", "state practice" or some other term, your guess is just as good as mine. Generally, this has been the "practice and reality" in the United States, but not in other countries.

European Court of JusticeDear Tony86
Sat Jan 03, 2009 11:25 AM
well becoming a judge at the ECJ is not only a question of background but also a consensus one. indeed there are appointed -yes appointed-...see the end of this answer to see the rule applyong to elect an ECJ judge
there are usually two ways to obtain such a position : (i) being a successfull judge in your country then recommended by your member state or (ii) after being a really well regarded referendaire at the ECJ which is very prestigious but hard to get.
Anyway most f the judges or referendaires that I know made Harvard but it is not the only LLM program they made. But of course it has to be made after having a very strong background -euphemism- in European law (college e Bruges, King's college, University of Firenze...)
just to let you know how to become a judge:
"The Court of Justice is composed of 27 Judges and eight Advocates General. The Judges and Advocates General are appointed by common accord by the governments of the Member States for a renewable term of six years. They are chosen from among lawyers whose independence is beyond doubt and who possess the qualifications required for appointment, in their respective countries, to the highest judicial offices, or who are of recognised competence."
hope my answer has been useful

Convenience store clerk shot, killed on South Side
BY STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com November 14, 2012 7:10AM
Customers peer inside the windows of the N & A Food Market on W. 84th St. where a store clerk was shot and killed last night. | Rich Hein~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: December 19, 2012 11:40AM
Elahmadi Goba was the type of guy to spot you a buck if you were short.
The 40-year-old convenience store clerk known for letting customers even up on the bill on the next visit was found dead around 7:40 p.m. Tuesday, shot inside the N&A Food Market, police said. Investigators and one of the store's owners said there was no evidence that the shooter had stolen anything from the store. Two bullet holes were shot through the counter's Plexiglas barrier, said N&A part-owner Naji Saleh.
Saleh was reviewing video surveillance tape Wednesday afternoon to look for any evidence of the shooting. Police had no one in custody Wednesday afternoon.
"He'd laugh and joke with you, and he was real good with the kids," said Latricia Harlan, 41, of Goba. "I can't see nobody doing this to him."
Saleh described Goba as a "friendly guy," who had worked at the store for about two months.
Goba, of the 500 block of East 79th Street, moved to Chicago from out of state after emigrating from Yemen, said Bill Shilwa, whose cousin owns the convenience store. Shilwa said Goba's family was traveling to Chicago after hearing about his death.
One neighbor, who declined to give her name, said she heard five shots while she was watching "Dancing With the Stars."
"It sounded like a small cannon. Even with my bad hearing and the TV, I heard it," she said.
The convenience store is just a short stroll from Paul Cuffe Academy, a Chicago Public Schools elementary school.
JoAnne White was walking her granddaughter, Naleia Roberts, to that school Wednesday, when they stopped to leave a Tweety Bird stuffed toy and a candle outside the convenience store.
"It's totally horrible," said White, a regular customer. "This is our neighborhood. They were good people. It was the only close store in the neighborhood. They were really great guys. They tried to help you in any way they could."

Statement from Mack Brown on today's BCS announcement:
"DeLoss Dodds has been at the forefront of these discussions for years, and we're so fortunate to have a president like Bill Powers in the room who supports us and plays a major role in such a significant event. I will defer to him to speak on behalf of The University, but I will say it's an exciting time to be involved in college football. There's more interest and discussion than ever before, and that's a great thing for our sport. We've all wanted to see improvements to the system we had, and in my opinion, we're headed in the right direction."
"We have some very smart people in place working out the details, and I'm really excited about the future. I'm thrilled the bowl system will be a part of this and remain in place because that is such an important part of the history of our game and a wonderful experience for the kids."

Liquid Organic Life Vitamins
Organic Life Vitamins is an energy-packed multi-nutrient—more than a multi-vitamin.
Organic Life Vitamins is a liquid revolution in daily nutrition—a new generation in multis!
It's a convenient, great-tasting and economical way to get premium nutrition your body can use every day.
The Liquid Revolution
No matter how good the vitamin or mineral supplements are that you start with, they are only as good as they are bioavailable. Supplements must be absorbed and assimilated into the body and be available at the proper area in order to be of use. All pills and capsules have to dissolve into liquid form before they can be absorbed and assimilated. Some people with weaker digestive systems (and digestive ability often weakens with age) don't fully break these down and the result is only partial or no absorption, so the pill or capsule doesn't do much, if any, good.
At Natural Vitality we begin with liquid. There is nothing to break down. The nutrients are naturally engineered for bioavailability. For those who have trouble swallowing pills and capsules, a liquid avoids this problem altogether. You also get fast action, as you don't have to wait for supplements to be digested.
Organic Life Vitamins is a food-based blend of:
The Energy to Enjoy Life
With Organic Life Vitamins, you can meet many of your daily nutritional needs in one easy—and good-tasting—sip (or mix it with juice or a protein shake). OLV also comes in convenient single-serving Nutri Packs for travel, purse, backpack or office. OLV is designed to work perfectly with our best-selling, award-winning Natural Calm® line of magnesium supplements. You deserve the best. That's why we've put the best in OLV—and in quantities that will be effective, not just look good on a label. Join The Liquid Revolution and get naturally energized!

Delivery & Installation Information
As with all of our aluminium greenhouses, this building will be delivered directly to you by one of our own careful drivers. We always like to ensure that your building reaches you in perfect condition, so at point of order we will always ask you to provide us with as much information regarding access to your address and base area as possible.
We will always give good notice of our expected arrival date and work carefully with our customers to try and provide a suitable time and date to suit you. If you cannot be there in person, we will endeavour to leave the greenhouse pack in a pre-designated area, we simply require you to inform us of the area and ensure that it is safe and stable enough for the glass and greenhouse pack to be left.
As our aluminium greenhouses are so popular, the delivery times can vary from season to season. Our colour powder-coated greenhouses can take slightly longer, due to the powder-coating process. For plain aluminium greenhouses, you should expect to receive your building in around 3-4 weeks from point of order and up to 6-8 weeks for certain colours.
Please feel free to contact us on 0800 999 0123 to check our current delivery times.

I felt like a moth in a chandelier all at once there were lots of pretty choices, but I wasn't quite sure where to fly.Richard Bach
If you learn to know your enemy before you hate him, you may learn not to have an enemy. Too often a Montmer will take one today over three yesterdays and two tomorrows. To see the world with the eyes of others is to stand atop a new mountain. Knowing the length of a Montmers ear wont tell you if he can listen. Better to live with ten Montmers in uneasy peace than one in a war. When you take one backward hop it requires two hops to go forward. You are never more alone when you are followed by many. Fear not the weak, only they try to hide their weaknesses. Nothing in the world is so small that the sun cannot warm it. Truth is often painful to speak but soothing to live. Of all things the hardest to keep is a promise. Lies fly then fall. Truth hops but keeps going. Of all challenges the greatest is to be yourself. They who pine for the past, fear the future. A life without a challenge is a life not lived. Life is given. The rest one gives oneself. Ignorance is the cruelest weather. Only the dead have no choices. The future begins in the past.Edward Irving Wortis

As a teenager you're like no, I want to sleep. But as an eighty year old looking back you have that breakfast with your dad. It just little things like that, that helped me when I was a teenager in terms of making choices you won't regret.Taylor Swift

is indeed lucky, as it is a collection of ideas for the scrapbookers on your list (and yes, this means you — feel free to send a link/hint to anyone who might need it!) Be prepared, this is long — I want to give you LOTS of options in a wide price range!!
The Magna-Frame – how totally cool is this? With all the pictures I take I'm always on the hunt for ways to incorporate and showcase pictures outside my albums.
Features: Double-sided frames that hold 2 photos, super strong magnets that hold said frames all packaged together in an attractive clear gift box! Cost is only $9.99 for a basic set of 6 frames and 10 steel balls.
FYI: found this at Digital Scrapbook Place, where you can of course purchase many additional gifts relevant to the digital side of our craft.
Bling for your stocking. I'm not much of a jewelry person — which isn't to say I would to unwrap something sparkly!
Met these adorable girls, Laura and Erin at Memory Trends and am totally enamored with their "Glitz Frosting" malleable strips of jewels that provide endless possibilities for that touch of scrapbook "flash." So completely impressed with them and the fact that they are following their dream. You go girls! Read their blog and you could WIN some amazing prizes. GO NOW!
Daisy D's Rub-on "Stitches" Tape
I'm always on the look out for "shortcuts" to a more complicated look on my pages.
Like cool stitching! Read all about it, here!
Hand in hand with my ongoing desire to simplify, I'm recently re-exploring my love of stamping and other "easy-than-you-might-think" techniques — loving and learning more about the iconic Tim Holtz. He's got a relatively new blog,that will blow you away, if you have not yet explored it. Tim's new Fragments were my top pick from Memory Trends this year. I've always loved the "old" and quickly disappearing "icicle" line of accents from KI Memories and Tim is now allowing me to create my own.
Learn more and purchase here. I realize the product shot is hard to see, so take a look at this lunch box that I photographed on the show floor.
LOVE. Scrapbook.com has these in stock — and they are also hosting a 12 Days of Christmas with freebies and other promotions every day, so nows a perfect time to shop!
The Ka-Jinker attachment tool (perfect stocking stuffer for you, or an older child) I just got one of these handy tools. I played with it as I was compiling my Christmas List project and decided to give it a home in my island — this means, It is within "reach" and that I'm going to use it often. It sets gems and buttons with one easy click, in the same fashion that price tags are attached to clothing.
For those of you who don't know Nicole LaRue, too bad for you. No seriously, this girl is amazingly talented, has done graphic design work for various projects at CK and left her mark in many ways over at American Crafts . Nichole has now authored a very fun book loaded with hip, handmade gift ideas — appropriately titled 101 Hip, Handmade Gifts. Believe it or not, it's already on sale — in my opinion these are the kinds of ideas we need to promote — to help us elevate paper crafting and attract more people — the concepts, design and photography are original, and thoughtfully chic — Hip, for sure.
Check it out.
and btw CKMedia has got some super deals on LOTS of special issues and other books.
Next up, my two scrapbooking book choices, both of which are currently on my night stand and if not already in your home, hopefully high on your list!
Ali has done it again and really, I think, done it better than ever before. I personally like idea books you can READ, not just look at. Books that share conceptual ideas, not just pretty pages. When I read Ali's stuff, I often think "Hey, I've say, teach, and write these ideas and philosophies in nearly identical ways … "
Our philosophies are very much aligned, and so I rejoice in seeing her "coolness" and creativity applied to concepts that I so strongly promote and believe in. This is so much more than an idea book — it's a tome that you will use and refer back to for years to come.
Next up, someone relatively new to the scrapbook scene; however, someone who I guarantee will be around a long time, an influencer and beacon of all that we stand for as scrapbookers. If you're a reader of Simple Scrapbooks, then you have undoubtedly read articles by Elizabeth Dillow — now you can read her first book.
Elizabeth is a life-long learner, avid reader, fantastic writer and inspiring scrapbooker. I am absolutely smitten with the Scrapbookers' Almanac and I know you will be too.
Ok, one more — just in case you do NOT know about The Enclyclopedia Of An Ordinary Life, by Amy Krause Rosenthal. I got an email from Amy today and it made me think, you know what I'm going to pick up that book again. And I did. I actually had gum surgery today (YUCK!) but it meant I got to curl up on the couch for hours and read — what a treat!
I recommended this book as an all-time favorite in The Big Picture and that it is. Picking it up again today made me laugh and reminisce and "get in my groove, for an assignment I'm working on for an article by Elizabeth Dillow in our May/June issue. I cannot say enough about Amy and her authentic and humorous style. Btw, you can listen to Amy on the Land of Nod website, in some "nod casts" — time well spent.
And, great news. If you already have and love Encyclopedia, Amy has other books. Check them out
TECHNOLOGY and TOOLS
I've been in the market for a new photo-printer for quite some time. I upload and print TONS photos every 3 months or so at Shutterfly (preferred) and often use ScrapbookPictures.com for cool sizes and borders. If however it's crunch time on a deadline and I use the 1-hour option at Walmart, but I've grown more and more anxious to do the latter at home. I also see what others do on the home printers, in terms of customizing and so I decided to investigate my at home options. I took my time and finally settled on the rather new Epson RX680. I wanted an "all-in-one" with more capabilities than the little personal printers. Have to say … I LOVE it!!
There are some serious great promotions going on right now — free stuff, rebates, etc.. You could actually put this under the tree for as low as $99, if you act FAST. Read all about it here.

Big Picture Scrapbooking. Indulge me for a minute here, as I do some shameless self-promotion. There are some serious cool Christmas gift certificates available right here. Why not give yourself or a group of friends the chance to take a class together (even if you and they live far apart)
January is a great time to learn something new (for example handmade book binding or the art of playing with paint ) and of course, the new year is the obvious time to recommit to a more organized space and approach to this hobby of ours. Hopefully, you are aware that my dear friend Wendy (Creative Editor at SS) is coming to BPS for a 12-week course called Get Organized and Be Inspired. I've chatted with Wendy several times this week and am amazed at the innovative things she has planned — everything from "Internet Inspiration Exercises" to LIVE sessions where hundreds of folks with creative hobbies will work in unison to carry out specific processes at the same time and report back in ongoing chats with Wendy and each other. Wendy is a very busy lady– so, I would advise you NOT to miss what could be your one chance to really get inside her head and allow her to teach you the concepts and processes in her already Best-Selling book, The Organized and Inspired Scrapbooker.
I'm beyond excited about this workshop–to prove it, I am going to give away three of Wendy's books (a pre-requisite for class, one sale now for just $14.95) and one FREE pass, from all who comment today. Simply tell me why you NEED Wendy's expertise!
and, thanks for reading this very long post.

The Arab Awakening: A Step Forward or Back For Women?
Jun 06, 2012

Iran Asserts Right to Enrichment as Baghdad Six Party Talks End
May 30, 2012
"Significant differences remain," yet recent talks between major world powers and Tehran have at least set the stage for a second and hopefully more productive meeting slated for mid-June in Moscow. Both sides "want to make progress, and there is some common ground," European foreign-policy representative Catherine Ashton said, following no agreement last week in Baghdad.
Is a Diplomatic Breakthrough Possible in Baghdad?
May 23, 2012
With the threat of further sanctions looming, Iran may be more inclined to halt uranium-enrichment efforts, and this week's meetings on the country's nuclear program is less tense than past talks. Still, plenty of obstacles lie on the road to an agreement, not least of which is US domestic politics this election year. Wilson Center expert Michael Adler analyzes the situation.
The Islamists Are Coming: Who They Really Are
May 17, 2012
Greater political pluralism in Tunisia, Egypt, and other countries of the region could augur less dependency on the US and a more independent foreign policy, Wilson Center expert Samer Shehata says. In this interview, Shehata and Distinguished Scholar Robin Wright analyze the Middle East's evolving political landscape.

Ford.
Tunisia's Islamists Struggle to Rule
May 15, 2012
In stark contrast to Islamist victories elsewhere, Algeria's election on May 10 produced a "crushing defeat" of two moderate Islamist parties, reports David Ottaway in a new analysis from Algiers. The outcome defied public predictions by Islamist politicians that they would win at least a plurality of seats—and potentially even enough to lead a new government. Two secular parties aligned with the former government instead increased their dominance in the National People's Assembly, winning 288 seats – or 62 percent of the vote. The moderate Islamists have instead been marginalized politically—a position that may undermine prospects of cooperation with the new government.
"Algeria's Islamists Crushed in First Arab Spring Elections" by David B. Ottaway

David B. Ottaway is a senior scholar at the Wilson Center who has recently returned from Algeria. The following piece is an overview of his observations of Algeria's May 10 parliamentary elections.

Jean Erdman biography and facts
Jean Erdman (born 20 February 1916) is a dancer and choreographer of modern dance as well as an avant-garde theater director. Erdman was born on February 20, 1916 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Her father, John Piney Erdman, a doctor of divinity and missionary from New England, settled in Honolulu as a minister at the non-denominational Protestant Church of the Crossroads where he preached, in both English and Japanese, to a multi-ethnic congregation. Her mother, Marion Dillingham Erdman was a member of one of the founding industrialist families of Hawaii. She enjoyed singing, often songs composed by Hawaiian composers, and with her husband, performing in amateur theatrical productions. Erdman's earliest dance experience was of the hula, the indigenous Hawaiian dance whose lyrical swaying hip movements and hand gestures combine to create a polyrhythmic style that is both narrative and abstract. She attended the Punahou School in Honolulu where she learned, as a form of physical education, Isadora Duncan interpretive dance. Reflecting on her early dance training Erdman said these two influences taught her that dancing is an "expression of something meaningful to the dancer, not a mere series  ( Wikipedia )

The Five Luminous Mysteries
We were talking about intentions for each mystery of the Rosary and how we don't really have any for the Luminous Mysteries. I have made up my own:

Thank you Fr John. I will adopt it too!

We've also made up our own:
Repentance and trust in God; a spirit of obedience (or marriage and family life); courage; a desire for holiness; and an increase in faith.

Reward offered in death of Monk Seal
Updated On: Apr 25 2012 07:19:34 PM HST
The Department of Land and Natural Resources is investigating the death of a 3-year-old male monk seal, who was found dead on Sunday.
DLNR chair William Aila said the seal was found on a Northeast Kaua'i beach in an area were seals have been harmed before. "Inevitably those against monk seals have to realize they don't have a choice," Aila said. "The monk seals are here to stay."
DLNR officials say this is the fifth monk seal death under investigation.
Since November, three seals were found dead on Molokai and two have been found dead on Kaua'i.
The reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the monk seal deaths is now up to $40,000.
The anonymous and reward tip line is 1-855-DLNR-TIP.
