I can remember that since I was very young, I always wanted to do something valuable. Fthe or example, to serve my country and help people. Experiencing this program has been very important for a judge advocate like me. It’s especially valuable to understand the U.S. legal system.

For instance, when there are matters involving trade with the United States, or issues related to the military or diplomacy, judge advocates like me must provide legal advice to the Ministry of National Defense. Without sufficient knowledge of U.S. law, it would be very difficult to do that effectively. The materials and legal issues covered in class are highly applicable to the legal situations I face now.

I also want to mention the excellence of the faculty at UC Davis. They are outstanding academically and also extremely friendly.

I completed the LL.M. program very successfully, and now I feel confident in my understanding of U.S. law and its system. I believe I achieved my goal.
