Today we kick off the official start of the semester and wish our students a great first day of classes! We're also reflecting on the hard work and effort it took for our newest class of LL.M.s to get here, as well as all of the amazing experiences that lie ahead for them. As they embark on this new year, we hope they'll take advantage of every opportunity!

In a recent article, LLM Guide offered up some timely advice for new and future LL.M. students about how to start their LL.M. year off on the right foot - no matter where they're headed. This piece features insight from one of our very own LL.M. alumni, Samantha Spector, and some pro tips on how to make the most of the LL.M.
