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.

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.

The Law School is committed to academic freedom, the broadest possible scope of inquiry, and the examination of any subject.

@FrequentLearnedGoose: at this point i give up with Marquette lol
@FrequentLearnedGoose: what does that mean? that they don’t anticipate anymore movement basically or what?
16:30
i think there's probably going to be some movement but at this point, probably not a lot.
16:31
i am not sure what else i can do besides just be persistent. i went up 10 pts on my LSAT, have decent LORs, have a job in the field, etc.

@Roocifer: but be careful cause the dean of admission straight up told me the more we do the less admissions will be interested in us
20:25
What was the context of them saying that? I feel like most schools, Marquette included, would be happy to see applicants doing things that can better their chances of admissions and show interest in their schools. Of course without being overbearing with interest, but I don’t see that being a bad thing

Legallybeee1997
