On the importance of the NDLS education:

“I had offers from several top-ten law schools and I chose Notre Dame because of what I perceived as a commitment to holistic education and a respect for students as individuals. The hype about the NDLS “community” is not empty – NDLS truly is as good as it gets. As each semester begins, I am so very thankful that this is where I chose to study law. I made the right choice.”
