However, with hindsight, I realised that it might have been better to go in a different direction. So one day I went to the Open Day at the Faculty of Law of Charles University and it was clear. Law has been a hobby of mine for several years and I first encountered my current specialisation in IP at the beginning of my second year in my first student job at a smaller law firm. Although I really knew very little about it at the time (after taking two semesters full of history and Roman law), I understood that this would be the direction I wanted to take one day. If I had to choose a country to live in besides the Czech Republic, I would choose Sweden or Finland.
