"A well thought out curriculum, high caliber of teaching staff, an efficient and dedicated management team made the course highly educational, rewarding and a wonderful experience. The ILI summer course provided me with the requisite base and instilled a feeling of confidence to face the challenges of the LL.M Program in the fall semester." -- Tshering Wangchuk, Judge, Bhutan, LL.M Student, George Washington University

"The Program gave me an opportunity to know a completely different legal system, meet great people and have a lot of fun in DC. It helped me to understand more my own country's legal system - its advantages and disadvantages by comparing the differences." -- Dariusz Urbanski, Law Student, Poland

"The program is an excellent introduction to the law of the United States. I would definitely recommend it to persons interested in preparing to attend a US law school or to take the Bar Exam in any US jurisdiction." -- Petronilla Sylvester, Lawyer, Trinidad & Tobago
