What I love about Marquette Law School is the fact that we are an urban campus, that we are situated right here in the Milwaukee community. Whether you're part of the Lubar Center, which is a group that tries to bring people into the Law School from the community to engage in conversations. Whether it's the Andrew Center, where we try to bring justice involved people and their victims together to start that healing process. That's what's important about being an urban campus, and that's what's important about being in the campus that's involved in the community.
If you're someone who's interested in being engaged in the community, Marquette is the place for you. We have students who create a lot of interesting opportunities during law school that help them reach out to specific communities that are important to them. We've had students create immigration clinics, asylum clinics, and do work with refugee populations, and those are all opportunities created by students to engage with the community that's important to them.
I've been really excited about the opportunities at Marquette Law for community engagement. I've been involved in a wide range of pro bono opportunities here, primarily with the Marquette Volunteer Legal Clinic. We have multiple clinics that operate throughout the city and even clinics that operate throughout the state, so we have a wide reach of clients that we're able to serve in our clinics. One of my favorite parts about volunteering at the clinics has to be being able to engage with clients. It's also a really great way to learn more of the practical side of the law that you don't necessarily get in class, and it's also a really great way to network with attorneys throughout the city. We have a lot of local attorneys that come and volunteer at our clinics, so it's really great to be able to meet the same people and work with the same people over and over again.
