Rachel Jag , J.D., Missouri Attorney General’s Office, Class of 2017, says,I would choose to go to SLU LAW again
"10, 20 times over. It was probably the best experience I could’ve had for my legal education. I made so many great friendships, I learned so much more than I ever thought was possible, and I wish I could go back and do it all over again.”

Joe Benoist , J.D., Attorney at Internal Revenue Service, Class of 2018, says,Valuable Experience Outside of the Classroom
"SLU LAW provided the opportunity to engage in multiple legal-oriented activities outside of the classroom. These opportunities required us students to form excellent time management skills to balance both coursework and hands-on activities. I have found those time management and organization skills extremely beneficial in my career."
What is it like to be a SLU LAW lawyer
Donte Tamprateep , J.D., Class of 2018, Imo's Holding Company, says,"SLU LAW will always be an integral part of my life story, both personally and professionally. From orientation to graduation, I was impressed by the group of people that SLU LAW was able to draw together through the strength of its Jesuit mission, reputation for excellence, and focus on diversity. SLU LAW's faculty, staff, and students are second to none. SLU LAW taught me much more than just jurisprudence and how to pass a state bar exam. The practical skills taught in the clinics and transactional classes have served me equally well in my career and also set SLU LAW apart from the competition."
