About Me
Name
Nadia Sussman

University of Auckland (LLB (Hons) and BA, 2020)
Before Ann Arbor
I lived in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa / Auckland, New Zealand.
Before My LLM Year
I was a legal researcher and tutor at University of Auckland Law School.
What Sets Me Apart
My accent—the Kiwi twang has been a bit discombobulating for some of my peers!
My Time at Michigan Law
What Surprised Me Most About Michigan Law
The school pride. I’ve never seen so much school spirit merchandise or enthusiasm for football before!
What Makes Michigan Law Special
Extensive resources from the Law Library and individualized care from the Center for International and Comparative Law and the Office of Student Life. Professors are generous with their time and are great teachers. The academic community is vibrant with Student Scholarship Research Roundtables, workshops with visiting scholars, and lunchtime sessions organized by affinity groups.
The Most Difficult Thing About the LLM Year
Being so far away from home.

Introduction to Constitutional Law and American Legal Process with Professor Halberstam, Evidence with Professor Niehoff, Entertainment Law with Professor Kornfield, and Dialogue Across Difference with Professor Appleberry.
