Students bring a broad range of experiences and backgrounds to Seattle University School of Law, and they go on to pursue a variety of careers. Hear from current students as well as alumni, graduates in non-traditional careers, and graduates of our part-time program.
"Everyone at the law school genuinely wants students to succeed and are committed to going the extra mile to ensure that they do. I have never felt so supported."
"I made the decision to come to law school for the same reasons that I joined the service: to be a part of something bigger and create lasting, positive change."
"I've learned so much about networking, and I find it valuable in shaping the way I learn and behave in law school, especially since the downtown law firms are so close to campus. The professors and lawyers serve as resources to help me understand that law school is more than just reading textbooks."
"Philosophically, I was really attracted to the school's Jesuit identity and grounding in social justice principles."
"When I leave class, my intellectual cup is filled to the brim with ardent, fascinating lessons in law."
"I have found that time management and maintaining a fairly regular schedule helps a ton with being in law school. Exercising and maintaining a balance is extremely crucial for your mental health."
"The most rewarding part of the law school experience so far, for me, has been being challenged to think in a whole new way."
"A lot of students will be constantly asking themselves if they are smart enough, or prepared enough, or if they can do this at all. The key is not to get stuck in that type of thinking."
"My family has been ripped apart, degraded, and discriminated because of where they were born. I have a passion to advocate for the vulnerable undocumented community and to defend hard-working residents like my parents."
"Being a voice over the phone and sending a police response was no longer enough. I wanted to support people in a bigger capacity — to advocate for them, help them address their issues, and to reach a conclusion."
"Working with different people who have different perspectives is the best way we can stretch our own thinking and become better."
