One of my best experiences at Harvard is being a clinical student in the Environmental Law and Policy Clinic and the International Human Rights Clinic. The clinics turned out to be my most time-consuming but most fruitful courses. Besides doing much reading and legal research, a clinical student has to deal with a lot of issues which may not come up in a regular course. It is a wonderful experience to practice the legal knowledge you have learned and learn by practice. In addition to the benefits of legal training, I have also acquired various advocacy strategies from the clinics, which will be very helpful for my future career. After spending these months at Harvard, I have to say that I may not be able to explore every career path in the future, but Harvard Law School has provided me with every opportunity to prepare for any career I want to pursue.
