Athena Portokalidis enjoys studying the law from the perspectives of two differing legal traditions simultaneously in the Canadian & American Dual J.D. Program at Detroit Mercy Law and the University of Windsor Faculty of Law.
“I feel it gives me a unique approach to tackling legal issues as I’ve learned to approach legal analysis from two different standpoints,” she says. “International law is becoming vastly important with ever-growing relations between Canada and the United States, which makes having training in both jurisdictions invaluable.”
