I never imagined that I would receive such extensive practical experience to complement my classroom education in law school. Being a part of the Law and Entrepreneurship Clinic (LEC) has afforded me vital lawyering skills and the confidence that I will make an immediate contribution when I enter the workforce.

My time at Marquette has exposed me to phenomenal hands-on opportunities. Over three short years, I have interned for a judge, the United States Attorney, two District Attorneys, and three divisions within the District Attorney's office. I feel prepared for the next step on my career path.

Marquette provides many practical opportunities for students. In my final semester, I worked as an intern for the U.S. Treasury Office of the Chief Counsel, the legal division of the Internal Revenue Service. I tried a case before the U.S. Tax Court and gained valuable job experience.

My internships at Legal Aid Society and the State Public Defender – Juvenile Division took me out of the classroom and into the workplace. I had the unique opportunity to work with real clients on real issues with real outcomes. The networking opportunities and legal practice experiences were added bonuses.
