Amazing Program

I think that this is an amazing opportunity to have and definitely help with law school.
Legal training has me super psyched for L1 year of law school! I really enjoyed going to visit different law firms, and get exposed to different types of law that I wouldn’t normally be exposed to. Through this program, I was able to decide on what type of law I want to practice in after law school and even got some school recommendations that have great programs for maritime law!
Also, being able to see how religion is a huge part of their legal system in Spain was extremely interesting to experience!

Pros
  • Amazing sights
  • Great legal training
  • Best housing manager
Cons
  • Have to constantly be on the look out with your things
  • airport was a little confusing

One of a kind experience

I was hesitant to do Lex Fellowship, but am so glad I did. I created lasting bonds with the people in my group. I learned more than I could have ever imagined about Italian law and history. I saw the most amazing sights through our weekly group excursions as well as just through walking around the city to the law firms and to eat. I was truly immersed in Rome's culture. The city managers helped us navigate this foreign country with ease. My suite mates and I even became friends with the local coffee and gelato shop workers. Such a unique trip!

Pros
  • Excursions
  • Ancient history
  • Italian Law Firms
Cons
  • Public transportation
  • Language barrier
  • The heat

LEX Madrid

This program was amazing experience. I was able to comfortably travel solo for the first time because the program went above and beyond to provide necessary resources. Our housing had all possible amenities, and staff was on hand to help us with any possible issues. The entire program was set up for us to experience as much as possible. However, there was also plenty of time to schedule your own adventures. This experience was truly life changing and I made friends that I will carry with me into my career.

Pros
  • Making connections with legal students and practicing lawyers
  • Experiencing solo travel in a safe environment
  • Seeing the culture of another country

Great experience!

The Lex Fellowship was a really great opportunity to study abroad and learn more about the law. Even though we were in a foreign country, what we learned from different Spanish law firms was super informative for our legal studies in the United States. I learned about different areas of law and how to approach different types of cases with all of our case studies. We also got to learn a lot about US law with our legal trainings which was interesting as well. Our excursions were really well-planned and fun and I got to meet a lot of cool, new people.

Pros
  • Travel
  • Learning
  • Food

Lex Fellowship London

I absolutely loved this program. I learned so much about law and what different specialized law firms actually do. I feel like law is one of those jobs where you can say you are a lawyer, but nobody actually knows what that entails. I loved visiting the law firms, and I loved participating in the legal trainings, especially the 1L crash courses. London was so charming, and I fell in love with the city and the people in it. I was so sad to leave London and the program, and I would go back and do it again in a heartbeat.

Pros
  • Law visits and legal trainings
  • History and culture
  • Support staff- Olga and Rachel were great!
Cons
  • Heat wave :(

Lex Fellowship - London

The Lex Fellowship London Program was a life-changing experience. This pre-law professional development program is one of the best decisions I have ever made! During my summer abroad in London, I immersed myself in the realm of legal studies. Each day, I visited different law firms and got hands-on experience with diverse case studies, fields, and lawyers. The Lex Fellowship has given me a new perspective on Law and confidence as I pursue my academic and career endeavors. Highly recommend this!

Pros
  • Great legal experience
  • Resume builder
  • Study abroad

Door Opener

This program was super helpful for me for finalizing my decision to pursue a career in law. The firsthand experience inside a large number and diverse specialization of firms was great for helping me in a direction. The people and support was amazing and through this program I managed to get an internship with one of the firms that we visited for the rest of summer that I wouldn't have gotten without Lex. There were a couple hiccups in the beginning of the trip on the programs end, but they quickly fixed the situation and made our experience 10x better than it would have been. If you are even thinking about it in the slightest, go!!!

Pros
  • Legal Training
  • Amazing City
  • Job Opportunities
Cons
  • With your group 24/7, even the bad people
  • Tired

Excellence, Overall

I absolutely loved this program. I was able to experience the Italian culture, work on various case studies, and visit Parliament. It was an amazing experience and I would recommend it to anyone interested in a legal career. This program allows you the opportunity to experience different type of law and to travel abroad. The supplemental curriculum and case work with a current law student is great exposure as well. The cultural excursions organized by the program were fun and the food was local and delicious.

Pros
  • Resume builder
  • Study abroad opportunity
  • Legal immersion experience

Amazing D.C. Law Experience!

I had a great experience with the Lex Fellowship this past summer! Over the course of the program, I was able to visit a new law firm within a different field of law each day and thoroughly analyze cases with the attorneys who argued them. The Lex Fellowship was timely, organized, and helpful navigating the law firm visits and organizing events for us to participate in. I studied and worked with a cohort of 10 other students in the fellowship to argue legal scenarios, debate oral arguments, analyze and solve cases as well as present them to law firms.

The program allowed me to gain so much knowledge in the different fields of law and we were given a legal advisor who helped us gain valuable legal skills with over 30 hours of training while being able to complete law school level coursework. I cannot recommend the Lex Fellowship enough!
