Message from the Dean
S
tanding on the corner of State and Jackson and
looking up at the new John Marshall, I’m amazed
at the transformation from just a few short years
ago. From the student commons and state-ofthe-art courtrooms to the new Veterans Legal Support
Center & Clinic, we are building a first-class facility that
our students, faculty—and you, our alumni—can truly be
proud of. But what strikes me the most is the remarkable
transformation that is going on inside John Marshall.
True to our founding principles of opportunity and
access, we are helping students do things that they
could not do before. Among those things are making a
difference in their communities and in the world in a way
that reflects their talents and abilities.
In the process, we are also transforming the law
school by improving our ability to help students meet the
challenges that neither they nor we have seen before. In
short, we are preparing our students not just to succeed
in the modern world of law, but also to succeed in their
careers and in life.
It starts with our curriculum. With the help of our
dedicated staff and talented faculty, Associate Dean
for Academic Affairs Ralph Ruebner is developing new
and innovative programs that will have a direct and
transformational impact on the lives of our students.
These approaches help our students build the strategic,
analytical, and transactional knowledge and skills they
need to be practice-ready from day one.
Anthony Niedwiecki, the new Associate Dean for
Skills, Experiential Learning, and Assessment, has
guided our legal writing program to the #2 ranking in
the nation. He now leads our efforts to provide more
learning programs based on the practical experience
that employers value most. Through the efforts of our
new Director of the Center for Intellectual Property Law,
Professor Doris Long, we have improved our program’s
ranking to #12 in the country.
Our Veterans Legal Support Center & Clinic, led by
Brian Clauss (JD ’90) and Tom White, has become a
2
national model for providing pro bono services to our
nation’s veterans.
Under the leadership of Clinical Professor Allison
Bethel, with guidance from F. Willis Caruso and Michael
Seng, our Fair Housing Legal Clinic remains the only
American law school clinic giving students the opportunity
to advocate for the rights of victims of housing and
lending discrimination.
Technology in and out of the classroom is changing
at a rapid pace. Guided by the strategic vision of
Chief Information Officer June Hsiao Liebert, we are
incorporating advanced law practice and academic
technology into our classrooms and courtrooms.
We are the first Illinois law school to offer a massive
open online course (MOOC), and by January 1, 2014, we
will also be one of the first law schools in the country to
offer 15 credit hours of online education toward the JD.
Finding meaningful employment for our graduates is
my number-one priority. In her new duties as Associate
Dean for Professionalism and Career Strategy, retired
Illinois Appellate Court Justice Peg Frossard is helping
our students compete for and get scarce jobs. She is
supervising the Career Services Office to increase our
outreach to employers and train our students for the job
search ahead.
All this transformation comes with a cost. We rely
heavily on tuition income, but that is not sufficient to
do all that we need to do. More than ever we need your
support. There are many deserving students who could
use your help.
I write a check to the law school every year at this
time. I ask you to do the same, to carry on the deep and
meaningful tradition of transforming lives here at The John
Marshall Law School.

Outside the Box
Professor Susan Brody challenges students
to prepare for success
P
rofessor Susan Brody has an overarching view of The John Marshall Law
School’s relationship to its students: “How do we transform them? It’s not just
the curriculum or the programs. It’s how we talk to them when they walk in the
door in the admissions office—who greets them, who advises them, what they do
during their orientation. Then it’s the relationships that are developed by the faculty, and
then later, mentoring them when they start looking for a job. It should be a seamless web,
beginning to end, bigger than the individual parts.”
Brody earned her JD from IIT/ChicagoKent College of Law, clerked for Judge Lloyd
Van Deusen of the Illinois Appellate Court,
Second District, and practiced at Beermann,
Swerdlove, Woloshin, Barezky & Berkson,
concentrating on divorce and appellate work.
She joined the John Marshall faculty in 1982,
and in addition to teaching, she served as
Director of the Lawyering Skills Program from
1984 to 1995, and was Associate Dean for
Academic Affairs and for Institutional Affairs,
from 1995 through 1999.
Dean Leonard Schrager had a vision for a
Lawyering Skills Program at John Marshall, and in 1984 he asked Brody to be its director.
Brody developed the curriculum, a multi-semester sequence of courses to expose
students to the kinds of writing they would face in a wide variety of practice settings. To
professionalize the program, the law school hired several additional full-time, tenure-track
faculty members to teach lawyering skills. Since that time, the program has continued to
evolve, and is acknowledged as a national leader. This past year, it was ranked number
two in the country by U.S. News & World Report.
While in recent years there has been much national media emphasis on practicereadiness, Brody notes that John Marshall has a long-standing tradition of preparing
our graduates for practice. She also asserts that in conjunction with skills training,
John Marshall prepares our graduates intellectually to tackle complex theoretical
concepts and to solve problems creatively, skills especially important for practicing
law in the 21st century.
What she’s seen over the course of her years at John Marshall is a seamless web
that has indeed expanded and adapted. “If you had told me, when I started here, that
we would transform ourselves so completely—our vision, the programs, and the way we
prepare the students—so much that we would have a dean of assessment and skills, in
addition to a director of legal writing, a director of moot court, a director of trial advocacy
and externships, three journals, multiple specialties and advanced degrees, numerous
clinics, and more—I would have said there was just no way.”
“The John Marshall Law School is a dynamic place that I’ve looked forward to going
to every day of my professional life. It’s an institution that I’m proud of, where we give
students an outstanding educational experience that enables them to be highly ethical,
successful, and outstanding lawyers.”

Clinical Professor Allison K. Bethel
Director, Fair Housing Legal Clinic
BS, Northwestern University
JD, University of Florida Levin College of Law
Ending Housing
Discrimination
Allison Bethel helps students work for justice
neighborhood by neighborhood
F
or Allison Bethel, the Director of John Marshall’s Fair Housing Legal Clinic, a major
transformation occurred during her first year in law school at the University of
Florida in Gainesville. Her Torts professor was an unashamed bigot who made
casual derogatory remarks about every gender and class except white Protestant
men. He made a mistake, however, when he crossed the line with an African-American
classmate of hers. Bethel wasn’t as retiring or compliant as the black students from the
South tended to be—she was from Chicago, and, pursuing the matter through BLSA, led
a group of students who complained and got a result. “I’ve always been passionate,” she
says. “I like to get involved in issues and I like to stand up for a cause.”
In her first job as a lawyer, she did
personal injury plaintiff work in West Palm
Beach, Florida, but she never quite felt
at home in that specialty. After six years,
she joined the firm of Becker & Poliakoff,
where she represented corporations and
homeowner associations.
That was in 1989, just a year after the
amendments to the Fair Housing Act were
signed into law. “It was,” Bethel says, “a
catalyst for stirring things up.” At first, the
future civil rights crusader was defending
these associations and communities rather than prosecuting them, but after several years
with Becker & Poliakoff, she “wanted to get back to something I could be passionate
about, with a cause.”
She took a job (and a substantial pay cut) with the Florida Attorney General’s office,
and soon joined a new civil rights unit in the office. She spent two years as assistant
director before becoming the director of the litigation initiative. “I felt that I was finally
home,” Bethel says. “I had these litigation skills that I’d developed over the previous years,
and now I had an issue that I could be passionate about.”
After 10 years in the Florida Attorney General’s Office, Bethel left and came back to
Chicago in 2008 to direct John Marshall’s Fair Housing Legal Clinic. “There’s no place
like this Clinic in the country,” she says. “No one does cases or educational outreach
like we do, and it’s tremendously gratifying to train the next generation of civil rights
lawyers. I really admire the students for their passion to work in the public interest, and the
camaraderie here is tremendous.”
Her transformative goal? “I see the need to show the students how you can pursue
issues and still make a living. Some of them will work for state or government agencies,
but the majority will work for firms or open their own firms; what are the things they need
to be able to do so that they can take on public interest cases and not starve? That’s a key
area where I want to help.”
‘‘
I’ve always been
passionate. I like to
get involved in issues
and I like to stand up
for a cause.

Clinical Professor J. Damian Ortiz (JD ’97, LLM
’04) received the 2013 Community Service
Award from the Hispanic Lawyers Association
of Illinois for his outstanding efforts in
protecting civil rights and fair housing laws.
He has been a faculty member since 1998.
Clinical Professor F. Willis Caruso was honored
in May 2013 with an award for Excellence in
Public Interest Service presented by the U.S.
District Court and the Chicago chapter of the
Federal Bar Association. He was a cofounder
of the Fair Housing Legal Clinic and its director
from 1994 to 2008. Caruso now directs
John Marshall’s Pro Bono Clinic and is
Co-Executive Director of the Fair Housing
Legal Support Center.

Practice-Ready
from Day One
Anthony Niedwiecki champions
John Marshall’s experiential learning model
A
Professor Sonia Green directs John Marshall’s
new Expert Learning program, a required
first-semester, first-year course that teaches
effective study and exam-taking strategies.
nthony Niedwiecki came to John Marshall in 2010 as Director of the Lawyering
Skills Program. He has had a transformative influence on the law school,
helping to lift our legal writing program in the U.S. News & World Report
rankings—currently second in the nation—and reworking the already-successful
Lawyering Skills Program in order to make it more responsive to the vagaries of the legal
employment market. In June 2013, he was named Associate Dean for Skills, Experiential
Learning, and Assessment.
Niedwiecki’s undergraduate degree
was a double major in mathematics and
education, and he taught high school math
for several years. He received his JD from
Tulane Law School and practiced labor and
employment law for two firms in Texas, but
“teaching has always been in my bones,”
so he accepted a fellowship to attend a
two-year LLM program at Temple University
Beasley School of Law that prepares
practitioners to become law professors.
He went into teaching law knowing that
he would have to make some significant
sacrifices. “By leaving a big law firm, my
income dropped to a quarter of what it had
been. A friend gave me a case of macaroni
and cheese as a gag gift, but it was the
only food I had at the end of my first month
of teaching!” He completed the program
and has taught at Temple, Arizona State University, and Nova Southeastern University’s
Shepard Broad Law Center. His ideals about community service led him into politics and
he served as vice mayor of Oakland Park, Florida; he was elected mayor but resigned
before taking office in order to come to John Marshall.
“During my first year at John Marshall,” he says, “I did a thorough data-driven
assessment of the program. We learned some very useful things. For instance, a
large proportion of our graduates get hired by relatively small firms. That means we
have to teach our students a wider range of skills in order for them to hit the ground
running. So now we’re casting a wider net in terms of areas that we weren’t necessarily
teaching before.”
In fall 2013, John Marshall became the first law school in the Midwest to require three
credit hours of practical experience for graduation. Niedwiecki was a proponent of this
change, because, he says, “our students needed to pull everything together. We were
teaching pieces here and there, but we needed to conclude Lawyering Skills with a real
client experience, as an extension of LS and not something separate.”
‘‘
John Marshall has
the ability to weather
the current storm
and emerge as a
better institution
than we were going
into it. This is a
perfect opportunity
to advance
the school.

Last year, John Marshall’s in-house Writing

James Tatooles looks back at his
John Marshall experience after 50 years
J
ames P. Tatooles earned his JD from John Marshall in 1963 and has been a solo
practitioner for 50 years. He has an easy-going manner and a gift for storytelling,
and he is old school. Just how old is old school? Try this: “It cost $500 a semester to
attend John Marshall, and you could pay in installments.” Or this: “We didn’t have
the LSAT. I showed up the day before classes started. They said, ‘Start tomorrow.’ I
said, ‘Don’t you want any transcripts?’ ‘No,’ they said, ‘we’ll get them later.’” And this: “In
my third year, Dean Noble Lee heard about the LSAT and wanted to find out what it was
like. So he asked my whole class, ‘Would you mind taking it? The law school will pay for
it.’ We all took it. I don’t think I did that well.”
For Tatooles, the major transformative
role at John Marshall was played by Dean
Lee. “He established a class called Case
Analysis that was required for graduation,
and then he taught it himself,” Tatooles
recalls. “He could be cantankerous. In my
last term, in the last session of the Case
Analysis class, he had me on my feet
analyzing a domestic relations case and he
just blew up. I was wrong, wrong, wrong.
He ended class early and promised us he
was going to put that same case on the
final exam.
“Sure enough, there it was, and no
matter how many times I reread it, I simply
could not see the analysis any other way
than I had done it in class. So that’s what I wrote.
“A couple of weeks later, before the grades were in, I was on the way to the library
and who should join me in the elevator but Dean Lee. I was actually afraid. At first we rode
in silence, but then without any preamble he announced that I had received the highest
grade in Case Analysis. After I graduated he asked me to return and teach the course!”
“The John Marshall Law School has been terrific for me, and I can’t thank it enough. It
gave me an opportunity.” Tatooles has shown his gratitude through gifts to the law school,
including a carrel in the library and another carrel in the new home of the Veterans Legal
Support Center & Clinic.
Tatooles is a Chicago native who shifted his practice from the city to suburban
Wheeling in the 1970s. Although he now represents the grandchildren of people who were
his clients when he started out, he isn’t interested in retiring. “I’m optimistic—I renewed
my lease for another three years,” he says. “I make my own appointments; it’s a real
personal relationship with my clients. The phone keeps ringing and I keep working.”
‘‘
Dean Noble Lee ran
the school with an
iron fist. His goal was
to turn out lawyers
who could think on
their feet and be
ready for battle in
the courtroom.

Joseph N. Wagner
BS, Illinois State University
JD candidate, The John Marshall Law School
Sergeant, United States Marine Corps,
2002–2007
Duty Calls
Marine veteran and student Joe Wagner
serves his fellow veterans
J
oe Wagner’s entire adult life has been about transformation. First he left civilian life
and became a Marine, spending time overseas and learning Japanese. Next he
made the transition from the military to college, and then enrolled in law school. Now
he’s about to graduate and become a practicing attorney. The thread that remains
constant through this evolution is a deep-seated desire to help other people,
particularly other veterans.
Wagner knew from the time that he was
five years old that he wanted to be a Marine
and enlisted as soon as he was of age. He
trained to be an aviation support equipment
mechanic and deployed to Iwakuni, Japan,
twice; the first time for seven months and
the second time for a full year. It was while
he was attending Illinois State University that
he discovered that he was very interested
in “finding a specific issue and just digging
down, figuring out the intricacies of the
problem, and being able to arrive at a
solution.” The role of a counselor or advisor
“who would be able to give an educated and
well-reasoned opinion or advice” appealed
to him, and led him to law school.
While at Illinois State, Wagner worked as
a veteran counselor, assisting fellow student
veterans with the veteran education benefits process. With its nationally recognized
Veterans Legal Support Center & Clinic (VLSC), The John Marshall Law School was a
natural choice for pursuing his continuing interest in aiding fellow veterans.
“The VLSC is the main reason why I came to John Marshall,” Wagner says. “It’s very
helpful being a veteran myself and working in the Clinic. Sometimes, when a veteran
calls, they may be hesitant, but as soon as I mention that I’ve served, the whole dynamic
of the conversation shifts. That makes it easier to ask the hard questions involving
benefits claims.
“Working in the VLSC is important because of what our nation’s veterans have done
for our country. I’ve worked with the intricacies of the veteran benefits system from two
different sides, as a veteran who’s applied for benefits himself and then as an advocate,
helping other veterans to get through that same process. I’m able to apply my personal
experience to better understand the issues, to communicate with the veterans more
effectively, and to help them get the benefits that they deserve.
“The John Marshall Law School has prepared me to be a well-versed legal
professional through the practical legal skills fostered while working in the Veterans
Legal Support Center & Clinic, as well as the extensive legal research and writing training
required of every graduate.
“After I graduate, whether I’m employed as in-house counsel for a corporation or
working with national security law at a federal agency, I’ll always want to do pro bono
work for veterans.”

Transforming Lives. Making a Difference.
T
rue to our founding principles of opportunity and access, The John Marshall Law School
continues to transform legal education through innovative programs and ideas. Today we are a
leader in transforming the lives of our students and the people of our community through clinics
and faculty involvement, and making a difference in the city of Chicago. With your support, that
legacy will continue. To successfully meet the ambitious goals we’ve set will require generosity from our
alumni and friends.
Academic Success
Your support allows us to continuously improve our academic programs. Our students need and deserve
access to enhanced programs, challenging and relevant courses, and the widest possible range of
practical experiences. We are making a major expansion to our clinical opportunities. New programs
are being developed in areas such as elder law and mediation. John Marshall is investing in our talented
faculty and additional support of bar passage. And we’re just getting started!
Scholarship Support
Your support allows us to increase financial aid and scholarship assistance for students. More assistance
means more students will be able to focus on their studies full time and have the flexibility to participate
in honors programs or pro bono efforts, and then graduate with smaller debt burdens as they begin their
careers. Scholarships are the number one reason a student chooses a law school, and we need to attract
the best young talent.
First-Rate Facilities
It is easy to see the power of the transformation at State St. and Jackson Blvd. Your support allows us to
continuously improve the state-of-the-art facilities inside our beautiful new campus center. To give our
students every edge in a very competitive market, they must have access to first-class resources such as
technology-ready courtrooms and classrooms.
Mentoring our students. Hiring our graduates.
The support we need is not solely financial, however. In addition to your monetary generosity, you
can also help The John Marshall Law School greatly by mentoring our students and hiring our
graduates. Becoming directly involved in the career of a student or new lawyer offers rich rewards to
everyone involved.
Please consider a gift to Chicago’s practice-ready law school today. Give now and help us transform
the future for our students and our community.
Expanding Clinical Experiences
Clinics give our students the real-world experience that is
so highly valued by employers. We now offer seven different
clinical opportunities, with more being planned, and in every
instance our students work one-on-one with members of our
community here in Chicago. With your assistance, we can add
innovative and relevant clinics and renovate additional sections
of the 19 W. Jackson building to give the clinics a professional
environment for client consultations.
14
Mastering Advanced Technology
To be competitive, our students need access to the latest in law practice
and classroom technology. Our pioneering distance education program
is improving access to a legal education through advanced technology
and content delivery. We are updating our classrooms and courtrooms
to improve our students’ learning experiences and outcomes. With your
assistance, we can stay at the forefront of innovation by providing
the additional training and resources required to keep our in-house
technology the best in its class.
Leading in Lawyering Skills
We give our students the skills, knowledge, and experience to be
practice-ready from day one. The cornerstone is our dynamic and
comprehensive Lawyering Skills Program. With your assistance,
we can continue to hire outstanding instructors so that our
student/faculty ratio stays among the lowest, and students will still
have, for instance, individual sessions with writing advisors, and
small class sizes.
Increasing Trial Advocacy & ADR Training
Here at John Marshall, we’re proud of our long-standing reputation
for graduating capable, courtroom-ready trial attorneys. Students
taking courses in trial advocacy and ADR benefit from an adjunct
faculty of more than 70 respected and experienced public defenders,
prosecutors, and judges who offer real-world courtroom expertise in our
classrooms. With your assistance, we can stay abreast of the rapidly
changing and technologically challenging world of trial practice and
enhance our students’ success.
Guiding Professionalism & Career Strategy
With the contraction in the legal hiring market, Associate Dean for
Professionalism and Career Strategy Margaret O’Mara Frossard
has the challenging task of helping our students to gain meaningful
employment. Under her guidance, the Career Services Office is
developing a series of workshops and professional development
programs. With your assistance, we will have the resources
necessary to help our students compete for and get scarce jobs.
Innovating in Intellectual Property Law
For more than 70 years, The John Marshall Law School has been a
pioneer in IP legal education, and we remain at the forefront—offering
innovative courses in the classroom and online, presenting international
conferences, and publishing widely on influential topics. With your
assistance, our nationally ranked program will continue to lead the
way in IP by preparing our students with the knowledge, skills, and
experience to succeed from day one.

The John Marshall Law School continues its tradition of
“ As
providing students with opportunities to serve others, I can
think of no better way to assist them in accomplishing this
mission than through helping fund one of its many student
scholarships.
”
Ricardo Meza (JD ’90) is the Executive Inspector General for the Agencies of
the Illinois Governor. Previously he was Midwest Regional Counsel for MALDEF and
an Assistant U.S. Attorney. He helped establish the William E. Rodriguez Memorial
Scholarship, in memory of the first student of Hispanic heritage to graduate from
John Marshall (1912).
16
was admitted through the conditional program—
“ IJohn
Marshall was willing to take a chance on me and give
me the opportunity to prove myself. I owe my success, both
professionally and personally, to this law school. I’m grateful
that someone believed in me, and it seems only natural to
carry that forward with a gift. Do it now—if you wait for the
perfect time to give back, it may never happen.
”
A founding partner of Spiros Law, with offices in Kankakee, Danville, and
Champaign, James D. Spiros (JD ’94) is a litigator specializing in personal injury,

always felt loyal and dedicated to
“ George
John Marshall—it was the first and only
place he taught—and I certainly hope his
students feel the same way.
”
Sue Hartin Trubow was the wife of Professor Emeritus
George B. Trubow, who taught at John Marshall from 1961–65
and from 1976–2000 and founded the Center for Information
Technology and Privacy Law. He died in January 2013.
Trubow was demanding—his high
“ Professor
standards were responsible for many of
us having the success we enjoy today. His
students can honor his memory by giving a
portion of the fruits of that success back to
the George Trubow Memorial Scholarship.
”
Kenneth A. Michaels Jr. (JD ’83) is a founding principal
of the Chicago-based firm Bauch & Michaels, LLC. He worked
with George Trubow for several years after graduation, serving
as Research Director of the Center for Information Technology
& Privacy Law and then as the Center’s first Fellow.

Marshall is known for accommodating both
“ John
the traditional student coming from college and the
nontraditional student, such as myself, who entered law
school after working for several years. Without all the
different facets of the experience here, I doubt I would have
been successful in my career. A gift to The John Marshall
Law School can truly make a difference in someone’s life.
”
Pamela Lung-Hiu Shu (JD ’80) is senior regional counsel for the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority. Since 1998, she has been a member of John
Marshall’s Board of Visitors. She recently established the Pam Shu Scholarship,

other deserving students to have the same solid start on
their careers.
”
After law school, Diane Jennings (JD ’82) clerked for Hon. John J. Sullivan
of the Illinois Appellate Court, First District, and then joined Lord, Bissell & Brook,
where she became a partner and focused on appellate work. In 2000, she became
a founding partner of Anderson, Rasor & Partners, and she retired in 2010.

Gifts to The John Marshall Law School
There are many ways to make a gift to The John Marshall Law School. The most common include:
Gifts of Cash
Simple and uncomplicated, these gifts can be put to
work immediately and allow The John Marshall Law
School maximum flexibility.
Gifts of Securities and Real Estate
Such gifts, especially if appreciated in value, are
enormously advantageous to the law school. They may
provide greater tax benefits than gifts of cash.
Life Income Arrangements
A charitable trust or gift annuity is a meaningful gift to
The John Marshall Law School and provides the donor
with immediate tax deductions and an income for life.
Bequests
Gifts will enable donors to make significant
contributions that may not have been possible during
their lifetimes.
26
Life Insurance
Creating a new policy or transferring an existing one
enables a donor to convert a modest annual outlay into
a substantial gift to the law school.
Annual Fund
We rely on the Annual Fund to close the gap between
the actual cost of educating our students and the
income from tuition, which does not cover all our costs.
We must maintain the immediate benefits provided
by the Annual Fund. The goals and objectives of the
law school will be achieved only if the Annual Fund
continues to grow. Every year you have a special
opportunity to make a difference with your annual gift to
The John Marshall Law School.
To Make a Gift
You may give online with a credit card at
www.jmls.edu/give or please contact Lauren Prihoda,
Director of Annual Giving, at 312.386.2871 or
lprihoda@jmls.edu.

Marshall is known for accommodating both
“ John
the traditional student coming from college and the
nontraditional student, such as myself, who entered law
school after working for several years. Without all the
different facets of the experience here, I doubt I would have
been successful in my career. A gift to The John Marshall
Law School can truly make a difference in someone’s life.
”
Pamela Lung-Hiu Shu (JD ’80) is Senior Regional Counsel for the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority. Since 1998, she has been a member of John
Marshall’s Board of Visitors. She recently established the Pam Shu Scholarship,
created in loving memory of her parents, to benefit students needing assistance to

Are we missing your name?
This Annual Report of the Dean includes those alumni and friends who have given gifts to The
John Marshall Law School during the fiscal year September 1, 2012 through August 31, 2013. If
you made a donation to the law school and your name does not appear in this report, or if your
name is included at a giving level that does not seem correct, the following may explain why:
Your gift was made outside the fiscal year, either prior to September 1, 2012, or after
August 31, 2013.
Your gift was actually in a higher amount than you recall making. Please review the next giving
level to see if your name appears there.
Your name was inadvertently left off due to a clerical error. If this is the case, we apologize for
the omission. Please call Maridonna Schaal, Development Services Director, at 312.360.2663
so that we may review your gift information with you.
If you did not make a gift during the 2012–2013 fiscal year, and would like to see your name in
next year’s report, please contact Lauren Prihoda, Director of Annual Giving:
Telephone: 312.386.2871
Email: lprihoda@jmls.edu

Non-Discrimination Policy
The John Marshall Law School, finding any invidious discrimination inconsistent with the mission of free
academic inquiry, does not discriminate in admission, services, or employment on the basis of sex, sexual
orientation, race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, or disability.
