Our mission is: to educate students to be responsible and compassionate lawyers, judges, and law-related leaders in an increasingly diverse and interdependent world; to prepare graduates who will be ethical advocates for justice and equity, who will lead efforts to dismantle the legal, economic, political, and social structures that generate and sustain racism and all forms of oppression, and who will advance a rule of law that promotes social justice; and. to contribute to a deeper understanding of law, legal institutions, and systems of oppression through a commitment to transformation, intersectionality, and anti-subordination in our teaching, research, scholarship, and public service. This work includes: interacting with legal employers in the public and private sectors, and a range of university and law school stakeholders (students, faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni); serving an expert on the legal market in the Chicago metro and national legal market; ensuring that students receive all necessary career advising services; and attending professional association and employer outreach meetings, meeting with alumni for potential employment and/or mentoring opportunities, meetings with senior administrators, and convening regular office staff meetings.
