In addition, the Office of Graduate Affairs and the Graduate Tax Program offers supportive programming and community-building events, along with advice on how best to take advantage of available resources.

The ÈâÂþÎÝ Law Experience

Michele Krech LLM ’16, JSD ’23

“During my LLM, close engagement with expert faculty and students of diverse academic professional backgrounds inspired me to challenge my intellectual boundaries. This led me to ask sharper questions, which I sought to answer through my research in the JSD program.”
