One New Firm Each Day: #1 Pre-Law Summer Abroad Program

Learned a lot about law, was a very fulfilling and fun experience that was well worth the cost in my opinion. Was a great way for me to figure out whether I want to pursue law in the future or not, and the legal advisor was very helpful with providing information as well as his contact in case we need to reach out to him for anything at all in the future regarding law school or our applications.

Other than that, the food we ate and the restaurants that we went to were amazing, although the accommodations were extremely terrible, the program is a little bit costly in general, and there weren't enough excursions or lunches provided.

This was the best opportunity I’ve ever had. From start to finish, the support I received was remarkable. The community was incredibly welcoming, with everyone eager to help and guide us throughout our stay. I gained a wealth of knowledge and had the chance to connect with so many amazing individuals.

The staff played a crucial role in enhancing our experience, always ensuring that we were engaged and making the most of our time. They organized various activities that were both enjoyable and educational, fostering an environment where learning felt natural and exciting.

Participating in the Lex program was not only rewarding but also a lot of fun. Every day brought new adventures and opportunities to grow, both personally and professionally. I cherished the camaraderie we built and the memories we created together.

Without a doubt, I would recommend this program to anyone looking for a transformative experience. It truly deserves a 10/10 rating, and I’d give it even higher if I could. This opportunity has left a lasting impact on me, and I am grateful for every moment spent there.

I had such a great trip! I met some amazing fellow students, lawyers, and teachers. I am so fortunate and I recommend this trip to everyone !! The housing was great and clean and very close to the city. The plans were organized and we learned how to take the metro and travel the city. We tried new restaurants, went to a baseball game, shopped at stores, visited museums, met some experienced lawyers, tried new foods, and lastly, made friendships that will sustain for years to come. I have made best friends, experiences, and memories that will last a lifetime.

I had an amazing time during my Lex program in Madrid and Rome. It allowed me to become fully immersed in the cultures of the cities I was visiting while also providing me with invaluable real-world legal experience. You visit a wide variety of law firms, all specializing in various different legal fields, giving you the opportunity to explore lots of different legal careers. The city managers were so helpful with getting us situated in a foreign city, and the legal advisors offered tons of advice about law school applications and taking the LSAT's. I fully recommend this program for any pre-law students who are looking for a fun and engaging study abroad experience.

The Lex Fellowship London Program was a life-changing experience. This pre-law professional development program is one of the best decisions I have ever made! During my summer abroad in London, I immersed myself in the realm of legal studies. Each day, I visited different law firms and got hands-on experience with diverse case studies, fields, and lawyers. The Lex Fellowship has given me a new perspective on Law and confidence as I pursue my academic and career endeavors. Highly recommend this!

I had a great experience with the Lex Fellowship this past summer! Over the course of the program, I was able to visit a new law firm within a different field of law each day and thoroughly analyze cases with the attorneys who argued them. The Lex Fellowship was timely, organized, and helpful navigating the law firm visits and organizing events for us to participate in. I studied and worked with a cohort of 10 other students in the fellowship to argue legal scenarios, debate oral arguments, analyze and solve cases as well as present them to law firms.

The program allowed me to gain so much knowledge in the different fields of law and we were given a legal advisor who helped us gain valuable legal skills with over 30 hours of training while being able to complete law school level coursework. I cannot recommend the Lex Fellowship enough!

The Lex Fellowship was a great learning experience that puts you right in the heart of foreign culture. I was fortunate enough to have an amazing legal advisor, site manager, and lex representative in the 2019 late summer Rome Trip that made my experience all the better. The hands on approach that the law firms take when you visit them leaves a lasting impression on you even though it can seem like a short amount of time. Each firm specialized in different areas which was also a very eye opening experience as someone who was somewhat undecided on what I wanted to specialize and focus on moving forward in law school. The amenities (apartment, food provided, excursions) were good although do plan on spending a good amount of money on your own excursions if you want to fully take advantage of your time abroad. Overall I would give the fellowship a 9/10 experience, the freedom they provided me was adequate to explore and pursue my own interests, while some meals could have been better and some things could of gone smoother than they did... the whole experience was still great. You have to go abroad with an open mind and open heart if you want to fully appreciate and enjoy your time there. If you have expectations/concerns/fear you will only hold yourself back from the possibility of a greater personal experience! Some of the kindest people I have ever met in my life were on this trip and I keep in touch with a number of my fellows still today!

The Lex Fellowship is an incredible program from which I learned much about the legal systems employed by Spain and the European Union. My fellow students and I were awed by our visits to twenty four international and Spanish law firms, as well as four graduate institutions. There is no better opportunity for undergraduates interested in pursuing a career in law, or learning more about international law, than the Lex Fellowship. Every attorney I encountered throughout the program was clearly committed to helping students learn as much as possible about the law. From intellectual property law to maritime and mergers, lex fellows enjoy what is certainly an academic opportunity of a lifetime.

The Lex Fellowship staff are also incredible people of strong character and personal integrity. Staff would take their personal time to speak with students about the law, philosophy, theology, and history; they are committed to making the program excellent and I would be remiss if I did not say that they succeeded. Staff found excellent restaurants in and around Madrid which ensured that students could sample good, healthy, Spanish cuisine. I have been on similar study abroad trips where the food is lackluster and students take ill; the Lex Fellowship staff does such a fine job of providing good food and are that I did not take ill once during my month in Madrid -- quite a feat.

I am both honored and blessed to call myself an alumnus of such a stellar program. I recommend it highly to any student interested in pursuing a career in law or learning more about international law with a fine group of scholars. Become a Lex Fellow. You will be better for it.
