“Studying U.S. Law at the University of Houston has been an incredibly enriching experience. The faculty is highly knowledgeable, the academic environment is rigorous and collaborative, and the program offers real insight into how the U.S. legal system works. It confirmed my interest in pursuing an L.L.M. once I graduate from law school in Mexico.” Daniela González Zegarra

“The training was absolutely incredible. It was engaging, well-organized, and truly impactful. I felt that the content was not only relevant but also presented in a way that kept my attention the entire time. The facilitators did an amazing job creating an inclusive and motivating environment. I genuinely learned a lot and feel more confident and prepared because of it. Thank you for providing such a valuable experience!” Alejandro Esquerra

Criminal Law Training

The Criminal Law training program introduces international legal professionals to the U.S. criminal justice system through faculty lectures, case studies, courtroom perspectives, and practical exercises designed to strengthen comparative legal knowledge.

“The experience was exceptional. The curriculum was thoughtfully designed, covering key aspects of U.S. legal principles and practices in a clear and engaging manner. The instructors were not only knowledgeable but also highly approachable, offering valuable insights drawn from their practical experience. The interactive workshops and case studies provided a hands-on approach that greatly enhanced my understanding of the legal system in the United States. Overall, the program exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to legal professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of U.S. law.” Alejandro Sarzosa-Larrea

“This was a great, broad training that introduced to me the concepts of International Arbitrations, including from an arbitrator's point of view as well as from an advocate's viewpoint. The information conveyed was very insightful, and the moot opening statement exercise was a really good practice and opportunity to learn first-hand what an arbitration would be like.” Irene Kosturakis

“This was an outstanding international arbitration course taught by world-class international arbitrators and international arbitration advocates. It is highly recommended for those interested in the subject.” Robert Ballentine
