I liked that I was able to gain hands on experience into the issues White & Case lawyers handle everyday. This program also provided me the opportunity to test myself on if this is the type of work that I would want to become involved in during my career and it most certainly is. I am very thankful for the US Cross Border Program experience White & Case offers.

I really love it! I have wondered on how day-to-day lawyer work would look like and this program has given me so much insight. Although I stumbled pretty much the whole way, it was eye-opening. Despite living in a completely different legal system, the way the program was designed was very understandable. Thank you so much!
