The Mitchell Mix of students is one quality that makes a William Mitchell legal education stand out. The majority of our students are recent college graduates. They come here from a variety of educational backgrounds and institutions. A substantial number of our students enroll here after spending a decade or more pursuing other endeavors. Some plan to start a second career in the law, while others want to use their legal knowledge to strengthen their existing careers.
The Mitchell Mix makes for a lively classroom. You may find yourself in a health law class with a nurse practitioner or an intellectual property class with someone who has secured patents. Your law class comes to life, and your scholarly understanding is grounded in reality.

“Growing up in a family with a mother only having a ninth-grade education, and a father with only a high school diploma, the idea of pursing any college seemed unlikely. It wasn’t until 2006 that I decided to pursue a career in law, which required not only a law school education, but an undergraduate degree as well. I attended Metropolitan State University, and then in 2008, I was honored to begin my law education at William Mitchell.”
