Our graduates enter their careers undaunted
They demonstrate the nimble thinking, versatility and know-how that translates into professional longevity – the chance to share their careers to fit their passions. It’s the result of learning from faculty with deep connections to the profession, as well as global ties that empower our students to take their learning beyond borders and to another level.
Practice Ready
Our students master theory. But they understand that theory will only take them so far. To go the distance, they take on the hard work of developing as professionals with a skill set they never stop adapting-skills that are in short supply and great demand. Our students begin to grow into their roles as expert communicators, negotiators, and advocates as participants in Externships, our award-winning Professionalism Program which emphasizes professional development from day one, and a variety of experiential education opportunities such as moot court, trial advocacy, legal clinics, and pro bono projects.
What our Alumni are Doing
SIU Law alumni work in 49 states and around the world. More than 100 alumni serve or have served as state and federal judges. Our alumni are a supportive community willing to assist current students and recent graduates in a variety of ways, including externships, networking and employment opportunities.
