Program Reviews

I was deeply inspired to join the Lex Fellowship program because it presents a unique opportunity to bridge my academic background and interest in law with practical, real-world experiences in a new and immersive environment. I realized on this program that the true understanding of the law goes beyond textbooks and courtrooms; it involves actively engaging with legal issues and finding innovative solutions wether thats with peers, with the help of legal advisor, or colleagues. The Lex Fellowship's emphasis on experiential learning and exposure to various facets of the legal profession aligns perfectly with my vision for a career in law. On this program i was able immerse myself in the day-to-day realities of legal practice. Coming out of this fellowship i can now envision myself honing in on my skills, gaining a nuanced understanding of legal complexities, and learning how to navigate the challenges of the legal profession effectively. Not to mention the connections i made with not only the other fellows on this program but with attorneys who are in my field interest were so invaluable and still active to this day.

SN: It was my birthday one of the days of the program, the fellows, legal advisor, and city mangers sang happy birthday to me 3 times, iI never felt so special and loved. Im extremely grateful for the bonds that developed from this program and to be around such Like- minded, inspiring individuals. This was a definitely a experience that will NEVER be forgotten!

I loved this program! We learned everything we need to know for each part of our journey to becoming lawyers. We learned everything we need to know for applying to law school. We also learned tricks and tips for succeeding in law school and what law school will be like. Meeting with lawyers was so much fun. We got to experience what it would be like to be real lawyers. We learned how to solve cases. We did a lot of work but we still had a lot of time to create friendships and explore the city. We also had a counselor who was able to answer any questions or concerns that we have about law school. The housing was also very nice. It was updated and clean. I really had an amazing experience at the Lex Program In Madrid. I would definitely do it again if I could.

Absolutely invaluable educational experience from the legal advisor, wonderful Abroad experience, fun and supportive staff, only critique would’ve been one or two of the firms. I gained a lot of experience in the culture of Spain, and I will admit that the trip will be marginally less valuable to anybody disinterested in practicing abroad, but it will still be a great resume booster and fulfilling experience. The trip requires a lot of self management, which I believe further supplements the educational value of the trip.

I can’t recommend this program enough, especially for pre-law students who want to better prepare for all things law school. The networking you are able to develop plus the advantage of having legal training lets you get familiar with a lot of L1 content. Visiting different firms allows you to learn about potential new types of law you might want to study. Personally, after this program, I have an interest in and love for International law something I would've not considered before. The friendships and memories I created are for a lifetime!

Both the trip advisors were the best, the housing was safe and secure, and I have learned invaluable information for my career all in one week. The courses comprised of amazing content, and the law firm visits were incredibly informative and insightful. The trip was planned to a T, making sure everyone was safe and comfortable with every activity. We also had time to both explore the city all while networking and learning of new kinds of law. Skills that I have developed to be able to network without any anxiety.

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!

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!

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.

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.
