“The faculty at William and Mary presented international law as a given – something that must be understood and embraced in order to be an effective legal counsel – in today’s globalized world.  After spending three years in-house for a global American company, I have experienced the reality of that philosophy. I deeply appreciate the academic and practical opportunities the international faculty presented to me as a student at William and Mary.”
