Student, University College London
“I can honestly say that LawWithoutWalls has been the best experience I have had in law school. I loved the ability to interact with a team of international attorneys and students in order to develop a real-world solution to a legal issue. It has been the most hands-on, applicable experience I've had in law school.”
Student, Stanford
“Upon entering law school, it is easy to lose sight of your creativity, which once seemed so clear and inseparable from your identity. LawWithoutWalls, for me, was the first time in my two years of legal scholarship that I finally felt like I could do more with my career than just joining a firm. I will never forget LawWithoutWalls as it gave me the ability to recapture a part of myself that I had fear I had forgotten or lost.”
Student, University of Miami
“LawWithoutWalls has been the most personally fulfilling thing I have done in law school. Hands down.”
