Don’t call it a comeback! Our history of providing students with the resources and opportunities needed to make an impact has been in place for years. However, since the acquisition of the Law School by The University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) in 2019, our commitment to social justice and to upholding a tradition of diversity, innovation and endless possibility for the students and communities we serve has amplified. With a strong focus on social justice, we prepare our students to make immediate change, not only in the community, but to the justice system as a whole. We challenge our future law practitioners to recognize active responsibility; to be groundbreaking move-makers and change agents for a better future. From our awe-inspiring students and faculty to the alumni keeping the law school’s legacy alive, this magazine was designed to capture our stories, our journeys, and our triumphs as we pave our path to justice.
