On Professional Opportunities:

“A primary benefit of being a member of the University of Notre Dame family is the extensive network of its nationwide reach. Notre Dame breadth allows one to effectively practice in any region of the country.”

“Some of my Notre Dame classmates remain as close friends. I am even fortunate to work together on various matters with them. Beyond my Notre Dame classmates, my relationships with other Notre Dame alumni from different years, met after graduation continue to enrich my life.”

On the General Perception of an NDLS Lawyer:

“Notre Dave provides the practicing lawyer with credibility, as a well educated servant. This distinction carries with it obvious burdens for responsibility.”

On the NDLS Education:

“Notre Dame does not train lawyers for a job, but rather provides them an education to enrich and develop their personal sense of purpose and professional career – regardless of what that proves to be.”
