Starting in June 2025, I’ll highlight an international LL.M. student or graduate each Tuesday. The format will be the same sets of questions, asked to different LL.M. students and LL.M. graduates, respectively.

My hope is this will be a great way to showcase the amazing international LL.M. students who study in U.S. law schools, provide some advice for 2025-26 and future prospective LL.M. students, and serve as a great networking resource.

• June 3, 2025: #1: Looking Backwards Before Moving Forward (the 13 LL.M.s I have highlighted in my International Jurist pieces).
• June 10, 2025: Isabella Leal Aguilar (Harvard Law, Mexico, Int’l Human Rights, NY Bar Exam)
• June 17, 2025: Mírian Daniela Marcelino da Silva (Washington Law, Brazil, Tax, WA Bar Exam)
• June 24, 2025: Yuncheng Zhao (Texas Law, China, Capital Markets and M&A, NY Bar Exam)
• July 1, 2025: Hyeyoon Son (Virginia Law, South Korea, Financial Regulation, DC Bar Exam)
• July 8, 2025: Claudio Klaus (Spotlight Canada) (University of Toronto)

Note: These stories and pieces of advice will be told by the people who chose to participate, with some light editing occasionally provided by me. Some participants reach out to me, while I reach out to some whose advice and journeys I think would be particularly good fits. Their advice, information, and positions may (sometimes) be different from mine. That’s totally okay! While I do try to vet information, be sure to double check advice with trusted mentors in your network, especially as it applies to your situation, goals, or profile.
