  • Reflection: Goal-tracking and checking in

Open to all upper-level students who currently hold a leadership position in a student organization, join this training session as part of our new Leadership and Character Developement (LCD) series. These monthly sessions will go over some specific topics pertinent to running a student organization (or holding any sort of leadership position more broadly).

RSOs that send at least one student to each session will receive an additional $100 allocation for the spring semester. Breakfast will be provided each session. Students who hold a leadership position in for-credit academic organizations are also more than welcome to attend; the funding incentive will just not apply.

  • Legacies: Succession and Strategic Planning

This series is meant to foster students' professional identity formation as you lead the Law School's organizations. Questions? Please contact Sarah DiStefano, assistant director of student affairs.

Join one of Marquette Law's newest organizations, the A.I. Law Society (MAILS) for their introductory meeting on Tuesday, October 6, at noon in room 263. 

Marquette's A.I. Law Society is a space for students curious about how artificial intelligence is reshaping the legal profession, from the courtroom to the classroom to law firm practice. We'll explore the questions lawyers are already facing: Who owns AI-generated work? How should courts handle AI evidence? What does responsible AI use look like in practice? And how will these tools change the way we learn and work as future attorneys?

Lunch will be provided.

2Ls and 3Ls: Apply to be a Spring ASP Leader

The Academic Success Program is pleased to open its application for spring 2027 doctrinal course (Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, and Property) ASP leaders. ASP leaders assist 1Ls with a variety of academic-related matters, including developing effective study habits, reviewing key course material, and preparing for examinations. The following qualities will guide the selection of ASP leaders: 

• the desire, care, and creativity to assist students in developing effective learning strategies; 

• the ability to communicate effectively with students and faculty members; 

• the analytical skills essential to success as a law student; and 

• the professionalism to fulfill a commitment that spans the majority of a semester, regardless of other existing or potential demands. 

ASP leaders perform their work in exchange for two academic credits. ASP leaders are required to attend two training sessions at the beginning of the spring semester, attend a midsemester meeting with all other spring ASP leaders, hold weekly sessions with a partner, and observe every meeting of their professor’s course until the last three weeks of the regular semester. Applicants must have completed the 1L curriculum before this coming spring and must have received an honors grade in a course to serve as its ASP leader. 

Please use this form to apply to serve as a doctrinal course ASP leader for next spring. (Students who have served as a doctrinal course ASP leader in the past need not apply; former ASP leaders will be contacted directly about returning). As part of your application, please be prepared to submit a résumé and a cover letter (addressed to the ASP Selection Committee) explaining your interest in serving in the position. 

Applications must be submitted no later than noon on Wednesday, October 21. Applicants who receive an interview will be contacted after the application deadline.
