Boston, Massachusetts 2025

My trip to Boston was truly unforgettable because of the firsthand experience I had working with law firms. Being part of the very first group to go to Boston made it feel extra special—we were paving the way, and that came with both excitement and challenges.

The highlights were definitely the people. I made friends I know I’ll keep for a lifetime, and the bonds we built made the long days worthwhile. My city managers and my assigned 1L student were incredible. They were approachable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. Their guidance didn’t just help me during the trip—it changed the course of my academic journey. Because of their mentorship, I felt motivated to continue my education, and now I’m on track to finish my MBA before pursuing my JD. That kind of inspiration is priceless.

That said, I want to be honest about a few things that could be improved. Since our group was the first to go, there were definitely moments where it felt like the program was still finding its rhythm. Some scheduling issues came up, and there were times we weren’t sure what was expected of us until the last minute. It wasn’t a deal-breaker by any means, but better communication and clearer planning could have made the experience run even more smoothly. I’ve seen other reviewers mention similar concerns, and I think it’s fair to say that while the foundation is strong, the logistics could use a little polish.

What stood out most to me, though, was the exposure to real-world legal work. It wasn’t just classroom learning—I got to step into actual firms, ask questions, and see how lawyers operate day-to-day. That perspective helped me confirm that law is the right path for me. Even when things didn’t go perfectly, the lessons I walked away with outweighed the hiccups.

Looking ahead, I can honestly say Boston left its mark on me. I plan to move there after I finish school, partly because of how connected I felt to the city during my time at Lex. Reconnecting with the lawyers I met and continuing to build on those professional relationships is something I’m excited about.

If you’re considering this program, know that it won’t be perfect—few experiences are—but the people you meet, the doors it opens, and the memories you create will stay with you. For me, it was one of the most meaningful trips I’ve ever taken.
