Notre Dame Law School Class of 2025 Student Stories

On May 17, 2025, we will celebrate Commencement with the Notre Dame Law School Class of 2025—marking the close of one chapter and the start of their legal careers rooted in service, integrity, and purpose.

Each student arrived at Notre Dame with a unique story. Through rigorous training and personal formation, they have embraced what it means to be a “different kind of lawyer”—one who leads with competence, compassion, and conscience.

In the coming days, meet 13 of our exceptional graduating J.D. and LL.M. students who reflect our mission to integrate reason and faith, use the law to advance the common good, and cultivate leadership anchored in ethical purpose. Their journeys exemplify how Notre Dame lawyers carry forward a deep commitment to advancing human dignity and justice.
