This month's testimonial:
Mr. William Sutton (USA)
I had been living in Hamburg for several years as a foreign national before I decided to join the LL.M. program at the ICGS. I knew how difficult it was to meet new people and get an international job in a foreign country. However, I wanted to become more knowledgeable and experienced in the international market.
Now, after achieving the LL.M. as one of the highest grades in the class, I have found acquiring an international job much easier. Also, I have the honor of furthering my studies with a PhD dissertation at the University of Hamburg under Professor Paschke.
I wish the best success to present and future LL.M. candidates. Keep up the hard work and it will pay you back tenfold in the end.
William Sutton
