Hi there

I am a para-legal in Cape Town South-Africa and I'm completing my LLB degree this year.

Thank you for your response.

Hi Natalie -

I don't live in the US any more, but I thought I could give you some suggestions anyway. If you have already made a decision to go to Texas, I would strongly encourage you to go to Austin. The University of Texas (UT) Law School would be a great place for you to get connected, check the numerous jobs boards, and network. It is the best city in Texas in many ways, and it is certainly the coolest place to live. You will find that Austin is a very international city due to UT, and there will be many people from South Africa and elsewhere you could quickly connect with. If you need to take any courses, UT would definitely be the place to go.

All the best.
