"I choose to pursue the U.S. Law LLM at Scalia Law School because it is a great stepping stone in pursuing a legal career in the U.S. It allows a foreign-educated attorney to qualify for the Bar examination to become a practicing lawyer in the U.S. It was a phenomenal experience, allowing me to learn from brilliant and experienced attorneys and academics. The law school is located outside of Washington, D.C. where the major private practices and government entities are located. Therefore, a majority of the professors teaching at Scalia Law are either affiliated with one of the major private practices or government entities, giving students an insider perspective of the legal landscape."

"The U.S. Law LLM offered by George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School gave me an opportunity to unite my personal and professional goals while preparing for a U.S. Bar exam. The school provides a flexible schedule for those who have full-time jobs or personal responsibilities. It offers great resources that enable students to study every topic in every area of law. One learns how to research and find the answers to challenging questions and problems daily by educators who have a passion for helping students become leaders while achieving their professional goals. I highly recommend Scalia Law School’s U.S. Law LLM to foreign-educated lawyers who want to learn about U.S. law and seek admission for eligibility to sit for a bar examination."
