London December Trip

We were able to visit four different firms with their specialties. These included international arbitration, insurance, contracts, and mediation. Each firm would give us a case with a series of questions for us to formulate answers with limited information provided to us. This was the academic and intellectual challenge of Lex Fellowship. The insurance firm especially challenged me to defend positions that had already disadvantaged me compared to the alternative positions assigned to other group members. The legal training sessions were very informative and helped me begin the process of creating a plan to tackle my applications this fall. This included what should and *SHOULD NOT* be included in a personal statement. As well as LSAT prep and how to create and refine a resume.
I would not consider London to be the biggest cultural shock out of the programs available, but it is one place I plan to return to. Overall I would Highly recommend this particular program to anyone wanting to pursue a career in the legal field
