Faculty

Courses in the area of Advocacy and Alternative Dispute Resolution are taught by The John Marshall Law School's full-time faculty and adjunct teaching staff. These notable instructors bring a varying collection of teaching styles to the classroom, thus exposing students to a wide variety of backgrounds and techniques.

John Marshall's adjunct faculty is comprised of a committed group of judges and practicing lawyers who share their expertise with students. Members of the adjunct faculty are judges of the United States District Court, the State Appellate Court, and of the Circuit Court of Cook County, and partners in Chicago's most prestigious law firms. The vibrant legal environment in Chicago enables the law school to draw upon the talents of these professionals to bring a unique perspective to legal education at The John Marshall Law School.

One of the most prominent programs in the John Marshall Law School advocacy curriculum is the tremendously popular and very successful Accelerated Trial Advocacy Course. This course is offered twice each academic year, in either basic trial or intellectual property format during the summer and winter breaks. The intensive 10-day, nearly 70-hour class is taught by a dynamic team of esteemed federal judges, respected state and federal prosecutors, and private attorneys with hundreds of trials under their belt. Collectively, these individuals comprise some of the foremost legal talent in the region.
