Jennifer R. Ward of WARD FAMILY LAW, LLC is proudly also an Adjunct Professor for the #6 ranked law school for Legal Writing in the Country by US News & World Report, 2019

University of Illinois – Chicago School of Law (formerly known as The John Marshall Law School)’s Legal Writing, Trial Advocacy and Intellectual Property Law programs have once again been ranked among the nation’s best in the 2019 U.S. News & World Report’s Best Graduate Schools. John Marshall is one of the few law schools in the country to receive top 20 specialty rankings in three areas.

U.S. News & World Report ranked John Marshall’s Legal Writing Program as the sixth best in the nation and the best in the Midwest. John Marshall’s program is known for its rigorous research and writing requirements. All students must take four semesters of legal drafting courses. It also houses the largest in-school writing resource center in the country.

Professor Kim Chanbonpin, director of the Lawyering Skills Program, called the high rank evidence of John Marshall’s leadership in the legal writing community. “Our national ranking is based, in part, on our rigorous and innovative Lawyering Skills curriculum. We enjoy a special agility in responding to the changing demands of law practice and our students benefit by taking these skills with them into a competitive job market,” said Chanbonpin.
