Two new LL.M students, Munira Akhunzada and Shamsi Maqsoudi, came to the United States just two weeks ago from Afghanistan to study law at Chapman. Chapman’s LL.M program offers emphasis options in Business Law & Economics, International & Comparative Law, Entertainment & Media Law, and Trial Advocacy. Most foreign LL.M students study in the first two areas—but Munira and Shamsi aren’t your typical LL.M students. Both have worked as lawyers in Afghanistan and both have dedicated their lives to human rights and, more specifically, to women’s rights. Shamsi has worked for USAID Afghanistan and Munira has worked for United Nations organizations for the promotion of women and human rights.
