Emma Towler (JD 26)

“I feel like all the professors here really believe in you. So when you are kind of struggling or having a tough day, you know that the professor has your back. And I think that means a lot.”

Emma’s Perspective

Rafael Sayagués (LLM in Taxation, 1996)

“I loved that the Graduate Tax Program is a small group. The interaction of just being here dedicated for those 12 months, where you basically live, breathe, and every single minute is dedicated to the program, was an incredible experience. The interaction with the professors and how they push you to the absolute limit to interpret some of the U.S. tax code was the thrill. The program structure was incredible. Those were the days when we even had Professor Lokken here with us. Really cool! That course is the one that actually set the course of the rest of my career today, because it was completely an eye-opener as to what the real concept of international tax practice could be.”

Rafael on Serious About Law

Christian Jubran (JD 27)

“I’ve really enjoyed the challenge of law school and the connections I’ve made along the way. The environment is rigorous, but it’s also incredibly rewarding to push myself and see how much I’ve grown. I’ve also loved getting involved with student organizations like JMBA and the Commencement Committee, which have allowed me to build relationships outside the classroom and contribute to the law school community.”
