Marquette Law School students and student organizations are frequent invitees to the many local diversity bar associations' meetings and social gatherings. Such opportunities enhance law students' ability to expand their networks, find mentors, and learn more about professional development as future attorneys.
A successful job search often requires a partnership between Marquette Law School’s Career Planning Center (CPC) and each student. CPC exists to provide Marquette law students and alumni with the information, tools, and connections to enable them to define and effectuate a career path that is a good fit between individual and job, as well as assistance, encouragement, and support in mounting an aggressive, creative, and thorough job search. A wide variety of services, including individualized career planning and advising, skills workshops, speakers, and panel discussions, are offered.
Get involved! Student organizations are a wonderful way to extend your legal education and network beyond the classroom. Join a group or two standing for who you are and what you believe, and join a group whose members and mission you support. There are about 40 active student organizations in any given year. All student organizations are supported by faculty advisors. Don’t see what you are looking for? There’s always room to be a trailblazer and start a student organization.
In the true spirit of cura personalis, "care for the individual person," our alumni reach out to our students, offering advice, friendship, and perhaps even an internship or job. Alumni are frequent visitors to the Law School, attending events and volunteering their time. The Alumni Diversity Recruitment Committee prides itself on welcoming newly admitted students to the Marquette community via phone calls, texts, and emails to answer questions and concerns and to offer encouragement.
The legal profession is a helping profession. I note this to each Marquette Law School student during first-year orientation and at graduation. We hope that Marquette lawyers will help those in society, to do their deals, to right their wrongs, and to protect their freedoms.
