“I picked the Minnesota Law LL.M. program because of the vast variety of courses it offers and the ability to concentrate my studies. I was also attracted to having the opportunity to observe the work of a judge first-hand through the Judicial Observation course. In Venezuela, I did not have any opportunity to be involved in the public sector, so having that chance in the United States was incredible!” More
