Sant’Anna School confirmed its reputation as a hotbed of talent. PhD student in Laws Antonio Davola has been admitted to LL.M. (Master of Laws) program at Yale Law School starting fall 2017.

Yale University, located in the state of Connecticut in the town of New Haven, hosts more than 3,500 international students and scholars representing more than 100 countries. As a member of the Ivy League (Ivy League universities are considered to be the most prestigious of all colleges in the United States), Yale Law School ranked no. 1 in 2017 US News & World Report Law School Ranking and Vault School Ranking. Five American presidents graduated from Yale and Yale lists 16 Nobel-winning graduates.

LL.M. program at Yale Law School admits a limited number of graduate students each year to pursue one year of full-time study. Admission is highly competitive. In 2017, only 23 students were admitted to the LL.M. program; LL. M. program at Yale is smaller and more selective compared with other colleges - Harvard University accepts 180 students while 275 students are enrolled each year in Columbia University.

Students who get admitted to Ivy League schools are talented and Antonio Davola is one of our many talented students who attended the LL.M. program at Yale. Several other Sant’Anna School graduates were admitted to the LL.M. program: Caterina Sganga, associate professor of Central European University – Budapest, and Andrea Bertolini, research assistant professor in private law area at Sant’Anna School Dirpolis Institute.
