Careers in International Law
In 2010, I also got a scholarship from Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, to pursue my LL.M. in International Law there. Some members of the admission committee have told me that the fact that I was the head of Vietnam team for Jessup 2008 helped me stand out from a large pool of applicants.
I think Jessup has brought me the “luck” I need to advance with my career.
What advice do you have for current Jessup om- petitors regarding pursuing a career in international law?
I think Jessup will give its competitors a great chance to sharpen their skills and knowledge in international law as well as market themselves in this field.
However, they should be aware that there are not plenty of jobs in public international law in in- ternational markets and as a result, they should be flexible and open to all the great opportunities that may come up. By the end of the day, the precious knowledge and skills they obtain from Jessup are still their competitive advantages compared with other legal practitioners in any field.
What other activities did you participate in during school that you would recommend to students interested in international law?
I would say, writing law school journals and do- ing internships in international law firms or orga- nizations specialized in international law. These
