Law Societies and Justice Study Student- Shaina Calacat

Shaina Calacat, a student who participated in the LSJ early fall 2016 program, shares her favorite experiences while studying abroad.  Shaina is returning to Seattle to finish her degree at the University of Washington before pursuing a career in law.

“My favorite memory here in Rome was getting to meet all of the amazing lawyers and seeing the Corte Di Cassazione (their Supreme Court). I’ve never seen anything so beautifully designed! It was an honor to listen to professionals talk about their jobs in the law field and learning how differently structured their system is from ours. I look forward to coming back with some of my own stories of experience to share as a lawyer one day as well. I’ll definitely miss this beautiful city and the beautiful people I got to experience it with!”
