“The experience was really good,” said a lawyer who attended the event.  “The fair was quite informative and the resource persons were really engaging, especially when they shared their personal experience in the program and on the campus itself.”

During the event, participants visited the individual virtual “booths” of each law school as well as an EducationUSA Philippines breakout room, where two education advisers answered general questions about remote learning options, financial aid, and the benefits of international education.

Legal Education Board, the Philippine government agency responsible for the regulation of legal education in the country, heavily promoted the fair to its LEB network.
