JGLS program is full of diversity and inclusiveness. As an international student, I have received a
lot of help from my teachers, faculty members and batchmates. The most amazing thing about the
program is that I came across many famous experts and listened to their sessions at close range.
This experience has broadened my horizons. During the sessions professors not only taught law,
but also taught legal research, the use of advanced software, and writing skills. They also provide
career counseling at various stages. These have benefitted me for life.

My experience of completing my LL.M. in Corporate Law with JGLS came with a lot of twists and
turns, as I came from a traditional State University that taught only the theoretical aspect of the
law. But during my time with JGLS, the most amazing thing was to learn about the practical
aspects through through assignments which are done by associates are done by associates at
a law firm. This experience gave a great boost to my career. The professors here are very helpful
and taught us through various examples.
