On February 22, the Harvard Law School LL.M. Class of 2025 welcomed students, faculty, and staff to the annual International Party, in Wasserstein Hall. At this festive annual event, the HLS community celebrates food, culture, and music from around the world. 

This year, LL.M. students shared an array of foods, drink, cultural displays, and games from around the world at 25 regional tables. The party also featured performances, ranging from a Taiwanese diabolo demonstration, to a traditional Georgian dance routine, to a selection of rousing sing-a-longs, group dance numbers, and more.  

There are 188 students in this year’s LL.M. class, representing 62 countries and jurisdictions from Afghanistan to Venezuela. The class includes 14 Fulbright Scholars and 17 Supreme or Constitutional Court Clerks, as well as law teachers, judges, prosecutors, journalists, government officials and diplomats, and active-duty U.S. JAG officers (Coast Guard and Navy).
