I was taking a rather unorthodox mix of courses, knowing that I wasn’t concerned with creating a vitae that would be attractive to a law firm-I was really just pursuing my intellectual interests. and also open the door to legal academia in other English speaking countries, where the norm is to have a Ph.D. The joint degree would allow me to return to the U.S. before potentially launching into a Ph.D.

program, my sense was that it would be helpful, and give me a taste of legal academia in the U.K. I wanted to marry my interests in international relations and development with the international aspects of my legal education, and was starting to think that I should pursue a Ph.D. The HLS/Cambridge program was always on my radar. Why did you decide to go to Cambridge for the joint J.D./LL.M.? I arrived at HLS knowing that I wanted to go into academia rather than practicing law. I was interested in the nexus between international relations, political economy, and development, and I came to law school because I wanted to better understand how the international legal system played into these issues.

I then went to Cambridge University for a master’s degree in development studies.
