Student Spotlight: Meet Second-Year Law Student Timothy Manion
The Catholic Law community is collegial, compassionate, and connected. Known for an atmosphere of camaraderie and a small student-faculty ratio, students are happy to see their peers succeed in this unforgettable law school experience. For second-year law student Timothy Manion, this was exactly the type of law school he was looking for and what most attracted him to Catholic Law. Manion explained, “Most other schools I applied to have a hyper-competitive atmosphere. I could tell Catholic was much more focused on community, and that has proven true.” He added, “Since coming to Catholic, I’ve made great connections and even better friends I know I can rely on. Having such an incredible support group has made my law school experience much easier than if I had to spend all my time competing against my classmates.” As Manion approaches the end of his second year of law school, he took time to reflect on his experience so far.

Student Spotlight: Meet Second-Year Law Student Chris Huff
The last 18 months have been unlike any other in recent memory. For law students, it has required unprecedented adjustments and adapting to new ways of learning (much of which was virtual). In navigating the pandemic, Catholic Law students—especially first- and second-years, who have had very little time in a typical law school environment—have demonstrated resiliency and commitment to the law and serving others. Despite these obstacles, for second-year law student Chris Huff, intellectual curiosity passed down from his grandfather has helped him to find success in law school.

Cheers to 50 Years: Larry Grassini ’70 on Law & Wine
When Larry Grassini ’70 entered the Law School in the fall of 1967, his torts professor was the revered Dean Vernon X. Miller who, in addition to concluding his tenure as Dean, was also the author of a well-used textbook on torts. While Grassini has practiced tort trial law for the last 50 years, the foremost tenet he took from the Dean was that “the way you practice law and your reputation will always be your most treasured asset.” Under Dean Miller’s stewardship, students operated under a written honor code, one that valued truth and integrity in all areas of law practice. The Law School supported this system by having no professors or proctors during exams. Classmates were partners in learning, not competitors. Grassini took the Dean’s advice to heart and for the last 50 years has been committed to dealing with other lawyers, judges, and clients consistent with the philosophy he learned so many years ago.

Student Spotlight: Meet Third-Year Law Student Svantje Swider
Is it ever too late to pivot your career trajectory? That is the question Catholic Law third-year student Svantje Swider asked herself when she was considering leaving an eight-year career at the Department of Defense to pursue her JD. Swider shared, “I had thought that I really wanted to do National Security and I did enjoy a lot of aspects of working in National Security as a field, but you don’t really know what it’s going to be like until you get there.” She continued, “A couple of years in, I realized that I wanted to do something else long-term for a career.” Many of Swider’s college friends, who like her had studied foreign affairs during their undergraduate studies, had gone straight to law school, so the less traditional path that lay before her felt somewhat daunting. Luckily, around the same time, Swider’s younger brother was beginning his JD as an “older than average law student.” With his experience and support, Swider felt confident in her decision to take the plunge. Now, as her time at Catholic Law is drawing to a close, Swider took an opportunity to reflect on her law school experience.
