Overview
Marquette is a Catholic institution operated by the Jesuits. Its law school's mission includes a commitment to the Jesuit idea of cura personalis ("care of the entire person"), a duty to promote diversity, and a goal of encouraging its "students to become agents for positive change in society."
As of 2011, the school has 743 students and 94 faculty members and administrators, including 35 full-time, six "other full-time," 11 deans, librarians, and others who teach, and 42 part-time. For the fall 2011 entering J.D. class, there were 213 enrolled students (188 full-time and 25 part-time).
Wisconsin, unique among American states, allows graduates of accredited law schools within the state to be admitted to the Wisconsin state bar without taking the state's bar examination if they complete certain requirements in their law school courses and achieve a certain level of performance in those courses, a practice known as the "diploma privilege."
