For me, the study of law has been more than a career path, it is a means of understanding the structures that shape societies and resolve conflict. From my early days as a law student to my experiences in litigation, corporate compliance and legal research, I have come to recognize that the law is not static; it evolves alongside the world around it. These experiences have continually reinforced the importance of ongoing inquiry, critical reflection and the need to examine legal systems through a comparative and interdisciplinary lens. Pursuing a Master of Laws is an opportunity to engage more deeply with the complexities and nuances of legal systems. This academic journey represents a commitment not only to personal and professional growth, but also to contributing to meaningful legal reform. Graduate study at Queen’s presents offers the environment to work with leading scholars, refine my research, and contribute to meaningful academic discourse. I consider this as a pivotal step in furthering my development and preparing for future roles within the legal profession.
