LLM Student

1. My biggest challenge has been being away from my support network at Kramer. The staff and students were a great source of help and encouragement, especially those in the library. I also struggled with being alone in the same space all day. Calling friends while doing mundane tasks, making small changes in my room, and getting out when possible have been my go-to solutions. 2. I finished my LLB (in the designated 4 years). But it was not fun by any stretch of the imagination. 3. ‘Being a law student during a pandemic means… crying through the pain.”

I’ve thankfully been able to improve on my cooking skills. 3. “Being a law student during a pandemic means ... being able to work comfortably in bed.”
