One of HLS's listed criteria for LLM applicants for abroad is "demonstrated intent to return to their country to contribute to the academy or legal profession." As a Canadian student, I have an opportunity to pass the NY bar, and spend a year working as an associate at a NY firm. I don't intend on spending more time than that in the private sector, and plan on switching to an international organization or NGO thereafter, and finally apply to HLS after a few more years of work experience. Would my US experience impede my chances as a foreign applicant in that regards?
Does US experience harm HLS LLM applicants from abroad?
