Mr. Hwang visited the University of Mississippi School of Law on or about November 7, 2022.

He would like to go to a law school in the United States when he can apply.

There are two law schools around Memphis, TN.

One is the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law in Memphis, Tennessee.

And the other is the University of Mississippi School of Law in Oxford, Mississippi.

Hwang prefers the latter to the former.

But the former is located in downtown in Memphis, which means it is more convenient to commute.

Hwang likes law, libraries, schools, colleges, universities, and law schools.

Hwang is the publisher and editor of the Times.
