The Legal Field Studies program was an excellent course for my professional skills to develop. My professional skills were complemented by the combination of my work at the Chicago Bar Foundation and the class taught by Professor Llorente. At my work, I learned more about legal advocacy at the Chicago Bar Foundation while interacting with a variety of individuals related to the legal field. The program was very structured, but at the same time fit my own desires and interests in the legal field.

The class in the legal field studies class was great in providing you information about law and the legal field. Professor Llorente is an amazing professor who tailors the class to what you want to learn about, while also having a basic structure for you to learn. The class also provides opportunities such as attending a law class. The legal field studies course has allowed me a unique opportunity to learn about the legal field and apply it simultaneously.
