A big part of my decision to go to Marquette was

the Law School’s reputation. I have lived on the East

Coast, out West, and down South. In each of these

places, people are not only familiar with Marquette,

but they understand the quality education it provides.

Welcome to Marquette University Law School. Choosing to

attend any law school is an important decision, and I hope that

we can help you in the process.

Law is certainly a helping profession. our very reason for being as lawyers

is to seek justice for our clients. i find it humbling to be part of a profession

capable of doing so much good.

Law is also a learned profession: being able to serve others through the law

requires a great deal of preparation. since becoming dean in 2003, i have

taken it as my responsibility to foster the commitment to academic excellence

for which Marquette Law school has been known for more than a century.

and it has been my privilege — indeed, perhaps the most important part of

my work as dean — to help attract to Marquette students with the intellect,

values, and diversity to make lasting contributions to the lives of their clients

and to their communities.

as a Jesuit institution, Marquette asks its students and alumni to fulfill the

mission of being men and women for others. this tradition also inspires

Marquette Law school to play a role in our community — both through

service to those who are disadvantaged and as a robust intellectual commons

where people can come together to discuss and debate large ideas in the

administration of justice. in those roles, you will note, again, the helping

and learned attributes of the profession.

in these and other respects, as the following pages begin to suggest, i

believe that Marquette Law school distinguishes itself. i warmly invite you

to consider the Marquette difference and the possibility of our doing great

things together.

Graduate and go.

Yes, we know; talking about graduation seems an odd way to begin a

publication about choosing a law school. But any decision you make at this

juncture should consider the outcomes of working toward a law degree.

The multiple legal clerkships available in

Milwaukee provide great preparation for the

practice of law. The emphasis at Marquette

is not only to teach essential skills but to

prepare students as professionals. This

institution is special because the faculty and

staff are dedicated to providing students with

a balanced education that extends beyond

legal training.

— Carl Gee, ’16Home State: Wisconsin

Academic Prep: University of Wisconsin–Madison (Sociology)

Growing up in Milwaukee’s inner city, I never imagined I would be a lawyer one day,

much less an Assistant District Attorney. But Marquette University Law School gave me

the skills and the inspiration to do exactly that. And, as it has for so many students and

faculty, Marquette offered me abundant opportunities to promote justice and serve the

community through pro bono legal assistance, advocacy, and education.

It’s a place that transforms people. It’s a law school that cares for students, cares about

whether they learn, and cares about whether they respect people who are different from

themselves. That caring continues after graduation with educational programming and

training that keep alumni connected to the Law School. It is that caring and continued

support that makes me proud to be a Marquette lawyer.

— Patricia McGowan, ’89Assistant District Attorney, Milwaukee County

Home State: Wisconsin

Academic Prep: Marquette University (Law Enforcement)

Before I enrolled, I didn’t realize that Wisconsin has the diploma privilege.

Marquette exceeded my expectations for that alone. However, it’s probably

even more important that Marquette and Milwaukee offer such an extensive

array of opportunities to engage in an internship. That’s a real plus in terms

of marketability after graduation.

Anticipate life after law school.

One of the key ingredients to differentiating yourself in the job market

after law school is experience. Alumni consistently tell us how they had an

advantage over peers from other institutions because they were able to

work in the state and federal courts, at businesses, at law firms, and with

various clinics and agencies while in law school.

Marquette’s connections to the Milwaukee legal and

business communities afforded me an excellent

opportunity to learn the law as a student while actively

experiencing it as a law clerk. The wide range of intern-

ship and clerkship opportunities in state and federal

courts, along with a vast network of legal and business

connections, allowed me to evaluate the myriad options

available to law grads. From there, I could zero in on

the exact practice that fit me best. From legal writing to

clinical workshops, my Marquette law education gave

me the building blocks and problem-solving skills to

jump immediately into practice without missing a beat.

The Jesuit education, the underlying philosophy and educational

values, the individualized approach to education, the beautiful facility ...

Marquette is a place on the move. The Law School’s presence in Milwaukee

is also a big draw. The work Marquette does in the community helps

engage students in learning how to become competent, principled

attorneys. It also helps fulfill our Jesuit tradition of training men and

women to serve others.

— Matthew Parlow Associate Dean for Academic Affairs

and Professor of Law

The Jesuit concept of cura personalis, or care for the whole person,

is an important tradition at Marquette Law School. In addition to

providing students with exceptional classroom instruction, the

faculty provide them with individualized guidance during their legal

education at the Law School and throughout their legal careers.

The Law School also enhances classroom instruction by providing

students with practical and valuable internship opportunities.

— Vada Waters LindseyAssociate Dean for enrollment

and Associate Professor of Law

As an undergraduate, I never went to a

professor’s office for help, but I had no

problem doing that here. All the faculty

are easy to talk to and willing to help

be confusing material. I developed

great relationships with my professors.

Sure, the professors can recite restatements off

the top of their heads and argue with you until your

head spins, but at the end of the day they genuinely

care about your success as a person and as a student.

In addition, our professors have real-life experience

that only makes the substantive material better. How

promotes healthy competition, as well as fellowship among its

students. They work together and help each other learn and grow.

Everyone knows law school takes a large time commitment, and

many of us are at the school for 10-plus hours a day. Enjoying the

company of fellow students and taking part in activities together

help break up the constant study and make life more balanced.

the law, you’re sure to find something

After six and a half years of working, I was apprehensive about returning

to school. But my peers eased the transition. I learned a great deal

from their diverse experiences and interests, and they enhanced my

understanding of the breadth of the law and the extent of its application.

I was motivated by their passion. Law school is demanding, challenging,

and rigorous. I cannot overstate the importance of having peers and

faculty who are genuinely invested in your experience and future career

as a Marquette lawyer.

At Marquette Law School, students have many occasions to interact with each another,

academically and socially. From the numerous clubs, outstanding pro bono program,

student bar association gatherings, and interactions occurring daily in the building to

the guest lectures and office hour conversations with professors, the opportunities are

almost endless. I’m never at a loss to find fun, interesting ways to spend time away from

studying. Marquette truly embodies the spirit of cura personalis in the recreation and social

offerings for students, whether the activity is with or without an academic component.

Marquette is truly a home away from home, especially for those who come from

out of state. The deans, faculty, staff, and students are friendly and eager to make

your experience at the Law School and in Milwaukee enjoyable. There is no need

to worry about law school horror stories — it’s like a family here. Everyone is more

concerned with helping you succeed and building lifelong friendships.

As a part-time student, I have enjoyed learning from

fellow students’ unique and diverse professional back-

or honing in on a specific niche of the law that you are

passionate about, the opportunity is there to engage in

an education of your own design. The classes offered at

Marquette teach different practical skills that are

important in differentiating oneself as a young pro-

fessional. Classes range from smaller seminars and

workshops taught in a group discussion style to larger

classroom settings where professors use the Socratic

method. All classes provide a new and invaluable

perspective — the critical thinking that only derives

from a legal education. I found the Appellate Writing

and Advocacy course particularly valuable. The course

required me to apply the legal principles I had learned in

my foundational classes to formulate an argument for a

fictional client and present an appellate case in front of

a panel of judges. To put my education into practice in

that way not only allowed me to understand the law and

its application on a deeper level, but it also significantly

enhanced my confidence in my ability to be a zealous

advocate for clients in the future.

One of Marquette Law School’s greatest strengths is its commitment to

preparing students academically and practically. By participating in the

internship program, pro bono programs, paid clerkships, and fellowship

opportunities, I was able to apply my academic preparation to real-world

experiences in many areas of law. Through these experiences, I not only

learned about the practice of law, but I also found my passion. I will enter

the workforce confidently because I’ve learned outside the classroom as

much as I have in it.

If you are interested in sports law, Marquette University Law School is the law

school to attend. I have been blessed with internships in the Baylor University and

Marquette University compliance offices, as well as in the NCAA’s Office of Legal

Affairs. I am confident that having Marquette Law School’s esteemed National

Sports Law Institute on my resume was a major factor in being offered these

opportunities. The network of Marquette sports law graduates is phenomenal,

and I truly believe that, at some point in the near future, our alumni will be

dominating the sports industry.

Because of the substantial size of the

Milwaukee market and its proximity to

Chicago and Madison, there are ample

real-world legal opportunities for students.

experience in it.

Meet a mentor. Be a mentor.

Maybe it goes without saying that the first year of law school can be tough.

Marquette’s Academic Success Program (ASP) helps new students successfully

transition from undergraduate studies or working full time so they can meet

for law firms during my 1L and 2L summers. I’m not sure you can find that

type of guidance anywhere else.

The entire legal writing faculty is fantastic — every

professor wants you to succeed and takes the

time to help you become a great writer. So far, my

favorite legal writing class was Appellate Writing and

Advocacy because it gave me an opportunity to focus

on challenging legal issues and persuasive writing.

I enhanced my writing style, became a more efficient

researcher, and was prepared for my internship with

the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. My

time with the Seventh Circuit drew upon the many

skills I learned: concise language, clear organization,

persuasive structure, and proper editing.

that really challenge students to identify legal

issues and find the most relevant resource to

answer the legal question. Hands-on activities

are required to reinforce classroom lectures

research skills.

Starting law school was a huge undertaking for me and

my family. After working for seven years, I was hesitant to

pursue my law degree. Being able to attend classes twice

a week was the only way I could attend law school and

succeed. My family’s tremendous support played a major

role in my success as a law student. The Law School’s

part-time option made my new legal career possible. In

my second year, I elected to pursue my education on a full-

time basis. It was indispensable to have the flexibility and

support of fellow students and faculty, which contributed

so much to my success. Graduating from Marquette Law

School did not just provide me with a legal degree. It also

gave me lifelong friendships.

review the closing arguments.

What should prospective students know about Marquette Law School? Here are

a few answers.

Law school is a unique experience, and everyone walking into class for the

first time finds himself or herself in the same boat. No two people may be

alike, but they all have the same dream: to better themselves and to better

their community. This selfless dedication is what attracted me to Marquette. It

is my goal to use my education to enhance the lives of those in my community.

— ryan Spott, ’16Home State: Wisconsin

Academic Prep: University of Wisconsin–Madison (Psychology)

When I began working as a summer associate

at a large Milwaukee law firm, I was pleasantly

surprised by how comfortable and capable I

felt. My course work at Marquette had exposed

me to conducting thorough legal research and

writing detailed memoranda. Now that I’m working

as an attorney full time, I’m even more aware of

the solid foundation Marquette provides: a strong

grasp of legal concepts and the practical skills

needed to put those concepts into action.

In addition to a warm atmosphere, Marquette is a great

place to get involved, both in the Law School and in the

community. There are plenty of student organizations,

intramural competitions, volunteer opportunities, and

guest speaker events.

MYthS aNd FactS

MythLaw school is so demanding that there’s no way

to have a life outside of it.

FactThat doesn’t have to be true. Though you’ll certainly

be challenged here, marquette law students are encouraged to achieve balance. as one student put it: “eckstein hall’s café and private fitness center are so

convenient. They’re a great reminder for me to stay balanced and keep active, even during finals.”

Mythall law schools have a spirit of fierce competition

and one-upmanship.

Factstudents and alumni consistently say there is a

collaborative spirit among the student body at marquette. There is healthy competition here, sure, but students go

so far as to call it a “family atmosphere.”

MythLaw school faculty members are all about the

“ivory tower.”

Factour faculty members use their rich base of practical

experience and expertise in legal theory to bring legal doctrines to life. dedicated to teaching, research,

academic excellence, and community service, they pride themselves on their accessibility to students.

Our valuesWe don’t live in the past, but we learn from it.

We are not all cut from the same cloth, but we share a common purpose.

We are driven by a passion for justice in all of its expressions.

We respect the law and how it aids people, so we are drawn to this learned and

helping profession.

We believe in skillful counsel, and we always value integrity.

We believe in truth. We know that establishing it can require asking difficult

questions. We don’t know all the answers, and so we insist on the search.

We seek for Marquette Law School to be the place where students, lawyers,

business leaders, judges, academics, policymakers — all engaged citizens,

really — come to explore and discuss public policy problems and find, perhaps,

some common ground and even some common solutions.
