Introduction

A law school named for our greatest Supreme Court Chief Justice is making quite a claim. Atlanta's John Marshall Law School has been educating lawyers and leaders in Georgia since 1933 and now attracts students from around the country, many of whom will practice law in other states and around the world. What does this law school do to be worthy of its name? We provide a rigorous, high quality program of legal education that produces competent and ethical lawyers who are dedicated to serving people, especially in underserved communities. We intentionally instill in our students a sense of obligation to the community and to the legal profession—an obligation to pursue justice, rather than mere personal gain, and to improve society, rather than to solely advance personal ambition. Whether our graduates remain in law practice, become judges, enter politics, or succeed in business, these rich values stay with them.

Atlanta's John Marshall Law School is an exciting place. The promise of our name is this: you can help people, pursue justice, and improve the legal profession and society, both here and around the world, and your legacy will be more profound because your professional training was inspired by John Marshall.
