Learning the Law At Chicago’s
John Marshall Law School
The John Marshall Law School offers students an excellent legal education from
its location in the heart of Chicago’s city center.
This downtown Chicago campus offers students the best of both worlds—as
a student you have access to federal and county courts, major law firms and
national and international business headquarters. As a Chicago resident, a walk
from the front door of The John Marshall Law School puts you within walking
distance of numerous cultural landmarks, including the Art Institute of Chicago,
Millennium Park, the Museum Campus and the theater district. Or, you can explore
Chicago’s fine restaurants and culturally diverse neighborhoods.
The John Marshall Law School curriculum gives students the opportunity to specialize
while completing a J.D. degree. Classes offered by our Centers for Excellence
enable students to complete certificate programs or combine coursework for a
joint J.D./LL.M. degree in employee benefits, information technology and privacy
law, international business and trade law, intellectual property law, real estate
law and tax law.
A legal education at John Marshall is combined with practical experience offered
through honors programs; intra- and interscholastic competitions; externships
with judges, at law firms, municipal offices and businesses; work in our Fair
Housing Legal Clinic, the Veterans Legal Support Center & Clinic and a Patent
Clinic offered in conjunction with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The
law school offers opportunities for legal research and writing through its John
Marshall Law Review, the John Marshall Journal of Computer and Information Law,
and the on-line Review of Intellectual Property Law, or its Morrissey Scholars
Program.
With more than 50 student clubs and organizations, students have opportunities
to meet in both school and social settings. Our students are involved in pro
bono work and various volunteer efforts. They hold leadership positions with
the Student Law Division of the American Bar Association, and on state and local
association boards and committees.
The John Marshall Law School has more than 16,000 alumni around the world. To
