Welcome to Santa Clara’s LL.M. program!
I am the faculty advisor for the LL.M. programs, and am very much looking forward to meeting you and working with you next year.
I want to highlight some of the many resources and extracurricular activities you will have access to at Santa Clara. One of these is the opportunity to engage in experiential learning through our clinics and internships. Through these programs, students have the opportunity to work directly with clients on their legal cases, under the supervision of our clinical faculty. Students also benefit from our dedicated Office of Career Management, which supports students in their employment searches, and Office of Academic and Bar Success, which supports students academically both during their law school coursework and as they prepare for the bar examination.
The Law School also hosts frequent and exciting events and speakers on important national and international legal issues. For LL.M. students, we will have site visits to federal and state courts and an opportunity to speak with the judges and lawyers there. There are also numerous social gatherings, so that students can meet and get to know each other.
We hope to have the opportunity of welcoming you to Santa Clara in the fall! Please let me know if I may answer any questions for you!
