For me, the most meaningful experience of the LL.M. program has been the interaction with my classmates. There is such a wide array of interesting backgrounds within the LL.M class, which makes the whole educational experience much richer. Our class includes judges, Supreme Court clerks, military generals, human rights lawyers, environmental lawyers and corporate lawyers, among others. Their input and perspectives made our classes so much more interesting. It has been almost too short a time to really get to know each of my classmates. Still, I cannot think of any other experience that would have exposed me to such a multicultural academic environment.

I feel really lucky to be part of such a talented group of lawyers. I have made great friends here and I know I will keep in touch with them throughout my life.
