ACCESS & INCLUSION

Our Jesuit and Mercy traditions inform our commitment to access and inclusion.

Through our program of legal education, we provide access to a profession where it is necessary for all voices to be heard. Both the Jesuits and Sisters of Mercy have long traditions of increasing opportunities and access through education for those on the margins of society. Influenced by this commitment to access, Detroit Mercy Law is proud of our heritage of enrolling racial and ethnic minorities, women, and people of various religious traditions, including those with no religious affiliation, in our earliest classes and remains committed to increasing access to legal education for those who have been historically excluded. Many of our students and alumni are first-generation law students and attorneys.
