Here is what some of them had to say about their experience and what they would have liked to know in advance of embarking on their journeys:

 

“An LL.M in the U.S. is a great experience on so many levels. However, it is very different from legal education in other parts of the world. Thinking back, it would have been very useful to know how to deal with it in advance. That would have allowed me to spend less time in the library figuring out what to do and more time meeting people, making contacts and enjoying the city!”  Francisco Uribe, Georgetown LL.M Alumnus

 

“I can’t stress enough how useful it is to be familiar with what awaits before you get there… It makes all the difference in the world!” María Camila Madriñán, Northwestern LL.M/Kellogg Alumna

 

“There is so much to learn, so much to do and so many interesting people to meet during your LL.M that it’s truly a shame to waste time figuring out things you could have learned ahead of time.” Angélica Guerra, NYU LL.M Alumna

 

“Many of the challenges you will encounter during your LL.M are things you probably didn’t know and wouldn’t have known to ask about… and dealing with them can take precious days out of the limited time you have in the U.S.” Juan Manuel de la Rosa, Columbia LL.M Alumnus
