Host Institution: University of Ottawa Faculty of Law
"I think it is essential to learn about the juridical system in the country that belongs to it.a juridical system links the legal system with culture. the program was successful in exposing me to Canadian culture."
"I found out that for a lawyer formed in the civil law tradition, it is a very good complement to study in the common law system."
Marcus Davies
Host Institution: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
"[Study in Mexico] has opened up many doors."
"It wasn't so much the law courses, but I really gained a lot from my peers and being able to have discussions with fellow lawyers."
Tania Parcero
Host Institution: Case Western Reserve University
"It is more than spending one semester "outside," it is making a lifetime challenge in the world."
"I learned many things, and it wasn't just about courses in school. I learned about myself.another culture.and it changed me personally. I am still a student, but I see things in a different way. I am more open. I have more ideas. I have more self confidence to work .and many doors have been opened for me."
"I think I would fully recommend a program like this to every student, it is a great opportunity to learn more, to meet another culture and to prepare for the challenges of the future."

Host Institution: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
"This program is helping us plow ahead and break down barriers. Even though our legal systems are different and even though we can't talk to one another perfectly, we are going to get there by continuing to do this.."
Lorraine Quiroga
Host Institution: Universidad de Guanajuato
"It was definitely, hands down, the best experience. It is as if you are a student with every other student in Mexico. You are learning right along with them. So it is not like you are with all of these other American students. It is totally a different experience."
"What I was so surprised about is how tremendously hospitable the people were. And how everyone seemed to have so much patience with the fact that I didn't speak Spanish very well. They worked with me all the time."
Eric Marcoux
Host Institution: American University Washington College of Law "It was a very good experience." "It opened doors for me in Montreal. everyone was intrigued that I had done an exchange in the US."
Rodrigo García Galindo
Host Institution: Case Western Reserve University School of Law
"I guess this can be summed up by saying that [students] should enjoy the various aspects of the experience, because it can provide you with infinite possibilities for academic and personal growth, and this is why I would always have to be very thankful to everybody [who] made my participation in the exchange possible. THANK YOU!"
