Pre-JD/LLM Workshop:
For Students Preparing to Study Law in the U.S.
Law study in the U.S. can be an incredibly rewarding experience. Students from
China nonetheless face unique challenges in the midst of a new culture―both
academically and culturally. The first month of school can be particularly stressful
encountering a new learning style, operating in a second language, and lacking a
sense of belonging. In particular, today’s growing group of JD candidates from China
may not have the benefit of specialized attention given to their LLM counterparts, and
will be expected from day one to perform on the same level as American JD students.
Although there is no replacement for the process of natural adaptation to a new
environment, it is hoped that this three-session workshop can very basically prepare
our pre-JD/LLM students for the exciting challenge that lies ahead. These sessions
will provide not only information, but also hands-on exercises to help students acquire
preliminary familiarity with the methods and expectations of U.S. law study. Any
students admitted to, applying to, or seriously considering JD or LLM programs in the
U.S. are welcome to join in this workshop.
