WHY PLES? One of the reasons I attend PLES meetings is to meet old friends and get to know new ones. This year was special as the meeting was held in Philly and it enabled me to show my French husband where I studied. Also, I like that the PLES meetings are held in
a close-knit circle with many regulars, I was very keen to come to Philadelphia to reunite with everyone I had met in Prague. It also gave me a chance to visit the university and meet the friends I made when I was here.

WHAT I MISS One of my favorite times at Penn Law was when LLMs presented their local foods. It was very nice to learn about the different specialties of each country. This was an easy one for me as I had bought different types of Dutch cheeses! (I am of Dutch heritage.)

WHY PLES? I attended the last PLES reunion in Prague because I hadn’t seen the city before and some of my mates were also attending. I had an excellent time there and made a lot of friends. Since PLES is P ENN L AW J O U RNA L fall 2 0 13 9
