Begin with a Strong Step Forward
"The LL.M. with Intensive Legal English is the program that I was looking for. You will have to prepare for a lot of lectures, reading, and homework, but all of the effort and hard work will be beneficial as they provide the base for your next step at Miami Law. After I complete my LL.M. I plan to take the New York Bar and practice Immigration Law."
