Project opportunity

American law schools have always been the choice of studying abroad for many law students, and they used to be the guarantee of the gold content of the graduation certificate. However, under the craze for studying abroad, more and more international students are flooding into the domestic job market with backgrounds of studying abroad. How can they stand out from the encirclement?

Sprinting to a top law school is of course one of the ways, but the high difficulty of application has discouraged many international students. Another part of the students choose the LL.M degree from a law school that is not so high in the ranking + the blessing of the American lawyer's license, or in order to qualify for the US bar exam, they have to study for an LL.M degree first, but the local high tuition fees and the cost of living, not every legal person can afford it.

So, is there no better choice for the full-timers who intends to continue to develop in the country, is short of funds or does not want to study off-duty? Of course, there is!
