For more than 100 years, The John Marshall Law School has been a pioneer in legal education. Guided by a tradition of diversity, innovation, access and opportunity, John Marshall was among the first law schools in Chicago to:
- Admit female students and enroll African-American students
- Offer non-traditional (conditional) admission
- Offer evening courses for practicing attorneys
These principles have served us well, and they allow us to continually drive legal education into the future.
Public and Civil Service Excellence
For more than 100 years, The John Marshall Law School has striven to instill in its graduates the sense that an attorney "must earn the public's trust by acquiring the learning, skills and the values essential to fulfilling their responsibilities to the justice system and to those whom the profession serves." This standard has led John Marshall alumni (11,000 strong) to amass an enviable record of public and civic service. Service to the community has been a part of the John Marshall tradition since the law school's inception, and continues to inspire our students to professional excellence.
Today, The John Marshall Law School is forging a future of unparalleled achievement with:
- An internationally recognized information technology law program
- Nationally recognized intellectual property law and real estate law programs
- An internationally recognized law journal, international conferences in intellectual property law and information technology law
- J.D., LL.M., joint and M.S. degrees
- Nationally recognized moot court and mock trial teams
- One of the most comprehensive legal writing programs in the nation
With more distinguished scholars joining the faculty and student body each year, John Marshall is on the threshold of a second century of achievement.
Pioneering Legal Education
For the next 100 years, The John Marshall Law School is committed to setting the standard in legal education. We will continue to experiment, innovate and adapt to the changing demands of legal education, while holding true to those principles that have guided us to success during the past century. We will continue to educate and train effective advocates and counselors, instilling in them an appreciation for what it means to be "Chicago's law school."
