Madrid, Spain 2 Week Winter Program

My takeaways are that it was very effective in confirming my interest in going to law school, it definitely gave me more confidence. In my opinion the goal of this program is not to only learn law but to be exposed to it and discover whether law is for you or not.

The legal training sessions we received exposed us to 1L material, admissions and LSAT preps. My advisor was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and relatable. Legal excursions consisted of visiting different law firms, in which you are given a case study of a case they handled or put together, and as a group or individually take a stab at it, which I thought was very helpful in pushing us to think beyond what we may already know. It pushed us outside the box.

The city manager Melisa was amazing, fun, caring and very knowledgeable. She made sure we always had everything we needed and looked out for us. She planned many cultural excursions and group lunches/dinners that were amazing.

Overall, I definitely felt like I got my moneys worth. Applying to law school is a long and stressful process, and many of us question ourselves or even give up along the way but by doing the 2 week program I left with the confidence to see it through, and gained many positive experiences as well as connections. 100% recommended to anyone looking to apply.
