Marquette University Law School boasts the fourth best building in the nation, according to preLaw magazine. The Jesuit school’s home, Eckstein Hall is large (594 square-feet per student), new and offers all the amenities. The cutting-edge facility opened in 2010 and is wired with everything a student would need to succeed. The campus is just a short jog from shores of Lake Michigan and the big-city amenities of Milwaukee.
It was named one of the Most Devout Schools for Catholics in our preLaw ranking of 2019.

As Dean Joseph D. Kearney puts it: “Since becoming dean in 2003, I have taken it as my responsibility to foster the commitment to academic excellence for which Marquette Law School has been known for more than a century.  And it has been my privilege — indeed, perhaps the most important part of my work as dean — to help attract to Marquette students with the intellect, values and diversity to make lasting contributions to the lives of their clients and to their communities.”
Marquette students have access to a wide variety of experiential opportunities, from internships, clinics and field work to moot court competitions and study-abroad opportunities. As with the University of Wisconsin, the graduates here also enjoy diploma privilege, a practice unique to the two schools wherein Wisconsin lawyers are admitted to the bar without taking the examination. Out-of-state attorneys hoping to practice in Wisconsin, however, are not so lucky.
“At Marquette, we foster a learning environment that promotes camaraderie over competition,” the school notes. “Professors and staff will know you by name, and the dean’s door is always open.”
