La Ñoña del Derecho, Maricela Muñoz‘s podcast, is a must listen for any Spanish-speaking LL.B. students and lawyers. I’ve enjoyed seeing the breadth and depth of topics covered!

Be sure to subscribe on Spotify (link to Fórmula para conseguir trabajo ft. Diego Santos, but there are so many other great episodes, including with Carlos Romero, Pablo Arredondo, the J.D. v. LL.M. debate, how much it costs in addition to the LL.M. to take the New York Bar Exam, and more!).

We’re back together in June (in English, probably to the dismay of my high school Spanish teacher who had me for three years) for a follow-up episode focused on the 2025-26 academic year for international LL.M. students. I recommend listening to our first episode, What to REALLY Expect from an LLM ft. Joshua Alter, beforehand for context.

For our new episode, I’ll cover what I’m advising my own students & people in my network who are still on the fence between the U.S. and other options, what I’m advising my own students & people in my network who are planning on coming (assuming they get their visas), why I pay so much attention to what’s happening on Chinese social media for the national U.S. LL.M. cycle, and plenty of general advice to maximize your 2025-26 LL.M. experiences in such uncertain times.

And a big thank you to everyone who tuned in for the first episode. Was fantastic to learn that it was the most popular episode so far!
