On May 16, 2026, we will celebrate Commencement with the Notre Dame Law School Class of 2026, ushering them into what are sure to be meaningful and successful legal careers grounded in service, integrity, and purpose.

Each student arrived at Notre Dame with a unique story. Through rigorous legal training and personal formation, they have embraced what it means to be a “different kind of lawyer” — one committed to excellence, integrity, conscience, and selfless service to others.

Meet a few of our exceptional graduating students whose experiences reflect Notre Dame Law School’s commitment to integrating reason and faith, advancing the common good, and cultivating leaders guided by ethical purpose. Their journeys demonstrate how Notre Dame Lawyers carry forward a profound commitment to human dignity and justice.
