Christine Chabot, a new member of the Marquette Law School Faculty, describes her teaching style as interactive and engaged. “An engaged classroom encourages students to think deeply about the law – and to go beyond the shallow level of merely memorizing current legal requirements. It’s what students will need as practicing lawyers. The law may change after graduation, and if students don’t understand the underlying reasoning, they won’t be prepared for change. Students need to understand why the law is the way it is.”

A new book by Pulitzer Prize-winning education journalist Cara Fitzpatrick takes up the rise of the school choice movement across the United States. The Death of Public School: How Conservatives Won the War over Education in America goes back to the beginning of advocacy for school vouchers and charter schools and chronicles the path to today.
