Some interesting facts about Marquette University Law School

For more than a century, Marquette University Law School has been committed to training men and women to serve the public interest by becoming highly skilled and ethical attorneys. Traditionally, the curriculum has emphasized the practical aspects of legal education, including an impressive array of clinical, internship, and supervised fieldwork programs. This emphasis includes particular excellence in the areas of intellectual property, dispute resolution, sports law, labor and employment law, criminal law, family law, and litigation-related courses. The National Sports Law Institute, the premier sports law program in the United States, is a part of the Law School. Our more than 7,000 alumni serve in a broad range of legal, public, and corporate positions throughout the United States.

The Law School is located on the university campus—two blocks from the Milwaukee County Courthouse and a short walk from the federal courthouse and downtown Milwaukee. Marquette is the only law school in southeast Wisconsin. Marquette—a Catholic, Jesuit, and urban university—is the largest private university in the state. The Catholic and Jesuit nature of the school manifests itself in a specific concern for the well-being of each student, indeed each individual—the Marquette principle of cura personalis. Persons of all religious and cultural backgrounds attend Marquette, serve on our faculty, and are valued in our community. The Law School is committed to academic freedom, the broadest possible scope of inquiry, and the examination of any subject.

Good morning everyone its legallyblack88. I just wanted to say it was nice meeting everybody on here but its a possibility i wont be back on lsd. I never seen a website that makes so much racist comments about minority students that is not addressed. I was in the general chat making comments about law school and the lsat and some of the group members were making racist remarks towards me as well as stating im not going to get into law school cause of my race and was calling me a nazi. The chat admin ararara or whatever her name is blocked me because of my race
Thanks again
