“As a licensed attorney from Mexico, I’m currently studying my Master in Law (LLM) in U.S. Law at USD. This program has made such an impact in my professional and personal life, and it has been a challenging experience. All the professors are so professional and well-prepared making it easy for us as foreign attorneys to learn and understand the challenging and difficult topics. Getting to know different attorneys from around the world, and learning from their culture, their experiences, and ideas opens your mind to a panorama of possibilities as a professional.” – LLM in U.S. Law Student Jaime Abraham Muñoz Prieto
