On the NDLS experience:
“When I chose to attend Notre Dame, a compelling factor in my decision was the diversity of the student body. The study of law is deeply connected with people and Notre Dame is home to an incredible array of individuals with remarkably varied interests and goals. While tolerance and diversity can be found at several law schools, Notre Dame is special in that it truly does entertain every opinion, thought, and value a student may hold. Students are allowed to freely express who they are and are encouraged to learn from each other and grow on their path of who they want to become – “Different Kinds of Lawyers”. The classmates I have met and made friends with have helped me with my academic and personal development, and I know this experience has made me a better lawyer. The diversity of the law school student body and the unique individuals who are my friends and classmates have given me the ability, knowledge, and experience to connect and help any kind of client who walks through my door.”
