On the Legal Community’s Perception of NDLS Lawyers:
“The legal community expects a Notre Dame lawyer to embody excellence in the practice of law, a practice fueled by our commitment to family, faith, and professional integrity.”
On the NDLS Experience:
“My most memorable experiences at NDLS stemmed from my involvement with the Legal Aid and Immigration/Asylum Clinics and the Clinic staff who continually inspired me by their tireless service to the marginalized and voiceless in the South Bend community. I witnessed how the practice of law can be a ministry, a constant exercise of sharing what we have been given with those most in need who have so much to teach us.”
