Law, Culture and Lifelong Connections

The Lex Fellowship was an immeasurable experience. Being in the company of aspiring lawyers, like myself, is ruled me to keep moving towards my goals. Having face-to-face meetings with partners of successful law firms in varying fields of law is an something that i may not have been given the opportunity to do in the states. It has already begun to pay off in ways that I did not expect and has landed me invaluable connections in my field.

The dedication of the Lex Fellowship’s staff is evident in the quality of law firms that we were able to engage with on a day to day basis and the quality of the cultural exposure we were afforded. They were engaged in the material we were being exposed to, enriched our meetings by tying everything together outside of the office, and understanding of the need for us to have fun while we were abroad.

This program helped me decide that I want to take a gap year before I attend law school in order to gain more professional experience and further explore the vast field of legal practice. It has shown me that I will continue to receive as much as I put in - by showing the relationship between preparation and the information we garnered from our most productive meetings. It exposed me to a new side of my passion - policy; and has further fine tuned my aspirations so much so that I now have a working game plan.

I would recommend this program to anyone who is looking for a pre-law summer program as well as cultural immersion.
