    JESUIT TRADITION

    As a Catholic and Jesuit law school, we seek to graduate Marquette lawyers who are people for others. Likewise, we strive to be that for our students, providing support, encouragement, and services to help them grow into skilled, caring professionals.

    • Cura Personalis: Care for the whole person. Marquette Law School fosters an environment that allows for growth personally, spiritually, and intellectually.
       
    • Magis: Greater or more. Marquette Law School encourages law students to do more through community participation, engagement, and service, often in the form of pro-bono work.
       
    • Pro bono: Annually, Marquette law students perform approximately 10,000 hours of volunteer legal work in the Milwaukee community. Many of these hours are fulfilled alongside attorneys donating their time at multiple Marquette Volunteer Legal Clinic locations.

    For me, the reason that I wanted to attend Marquette University Law School is because of the Jesuit values that Marquette has, in addition to their commitment to service and being able to get exposure off the bat as a 1L to go and perform pro bono work in our community, something that was a great experience, and something that I was looking for in my law school experience.

    We very much embrace the Marquette University spirit and ethic of "cura personalis." "Cura personalis" refers to care for the individual person, and we very definitely do that at the Law School.

    One thing that I was definitely focused on was finding a place that cared for the community and cared for myself. I got involved my summer before my first year of law school, and I worked at the Marquette Volunteer Legal Clinic, which is one of our pro bono opportunities.

    And those pro bono opportunities give students right away a really great exposure to a wide variety of legal issues. So civil law, family law, expungements and pardon, adult guardianship, estate planning. We also have a business clinic, and it really gives students a great chance to be out in the community, working with people, providing service, and also getting some practice with the law.

    It is really something that leaves a lasting mark on any number of our students.
