SLI Alumni Praise the Program
"The fact that the Summer Legal Institute is held in London made it an excellent and unforgettable experience. I was able to make friends with my fellow classmates from all over the world and gain an introduction to American Law in a short period of time."
Patricio Rojas Patricio participated in the 2005 Summer Legal Institute. He is currently pursuing an LL.M. in American Law at Boston University School of Law.
"The Summer Legal Institute is an excellent way to study American Law in a short period of time. I'm really glad I did both Parts A and B, as Part A gave us an introduction to the American legal system and provided helpful background for Part B."
