Alumni Profiles: The 50 Year Plan

Dean Levmore is fond of saying that a legal education isn't about preparing for your first job out of law school - it's about the 50 year plan. We strive to ensure that your Chicago Law education and experience will still be relevant and important to you at your fiftieth reunion, and beyond.

In each issue of the Record, our alumni magazine, we bring you several alumni profiles that prove Dean Levmore's point. These alumni are at the top of our profession: they practice law in interesting ways, innovate in law and many other fields, influence the workings of government and public policy, transform their communities, and, of course, make us proud. Read their stories here, and come back often to read the new ones we've added.
