“UVA Law met every expectation I could have had in my pursuit of an LL.M. degree. Apart from being a top-tier law school in the U.S., UVA provided a springboard for the development of my professional, academic and social skills.
“UVA has definitely provided me with what I needed to achieve a new level in my legal career. As a lawyer of a law firm with a strong international profile, thanks to UVA I have gotten extra tools to provide better assistance to my international clients.
“I also feel ready to contribute to the Brazilian legal community. An LL.M. candidate at UVA enjoys a great variety of courses offered each semester, featuring traditional legal courses with innovative research developed by its skilled faculty. I will never forget the debates proposed by Dean Risa Goluboff in many of my Constitutional Law classes, nor the insightful thoughts about the stock market made by Professor Quinn Curtis in corporations classes.
“In addition to a rigorous schedule and long hours studying at the library, an LL.M. student at UVA will also enjoy a community ready to embrace international students. Being part of UVA student groups and sharing social activities with J.D.s and the local community helped me build a solid network and enhance social skills in an international environment. I have no doubt I have made friends for life at UVA.”
