International Law LLM
The international faculty and the incredible diversity in students challenged my thinking.
The whole reason I chose BSIS was to get a job in European policy but that backfired in the greatest ways. The international faculty and the incredible diversity in students challenged my thinking on U.S. policy. To my own surprise, I wound up defending American policy in class debates, papers, and exams which left me eager to return to the world of DC politics. My first job after my LLM was managing law and civil society programs in the Middle East and North Africa.
Now, I’m a fundraiser for the Brookings Institution where my team analyses domestic policy issues like presidential conflict of interest, the polarization of both parties, and the legal aspects of national security policy. Luckily, Professor Schepel’s lectures on Justice Scalia’s legal reasoning are still fresh memories.
