Madrid, Spain Summer 2023

I was deeply inspired to join the Lex Fellowship program because it presents a unique opportunity to bridge my academic background and interest in law with practical, real-world experiences in a new and immersive environment. I realized on this program that the true understanding of the law goes beyond textbooks and courtrooms; it involves actively engaging with legal issues and finding innovative solutions wether thats with peers, with the help of legal advisor, or colleagues. The Lex Fellowship's emphasis on experiential learning and exposure to various facets of the legal profession aligns perfectly with my vision for a career in law. On this program i was able immerse myself in the day-to-day realities of legal practice. Coming out of this fellowship i can now envision myself honing in on my skills, gaining a nuanced understanding of legal complexities, and learning how to navigate the challenges of the legal profession effectively. Not to mention the connections i made with not only the other fellows on this program but with attorneys who are in my field interest were so invaluable and still active to this day.

SN: It was my birthday one of the days of the program, the fellows, legal advisor, and city mangers sang happy birthday to me 3 times, iI never felt so special and loved. Im extremely grateful for the bonds that developed from this program and to be around such Like- minded, inspiring individuals. This was a definitely a experience that will NEVER be forgotten!
