UDM Law graduates excel in their fields
Summer 2006

The truism of a law degree is that it prepares one for many different careers and represents valuable training in its own right. While most students attend the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law to facilitate a legal career, some have other aspirations. For some, a career in academe or government is the goal, for others, the goal is to head into business or elsewhere outside the traditional legal arena. Some simply take advantage of other opportunities that come up in the course of their careers.

These stories explore the careers of several School of Law graduates and soon-to-be grads who are excelling in their fields. All share a common trait of making use of their law degrees in their respective fields, and they say that the training they received while at UDM has been invaluable as they’ve advanced.
