About Claire Koechle, 1L

Hometown: Nauvoo, Illinois

Undergrad school: Western Illinois University

Major: English Education

I decided to attend Mizzou Law after spending a year teaching high school English! I chose Mizzou Law because every experience I had while working and communicating with students, staff, and faculty overshadowed experiences with other law schools, as there was more of a personable connection. I think that professional school requires a balance of academic skills and professionalism skills, and Mizzou Law did a great job of conveying the importance of this balance.

While I enjoyed teaching, I am thrilled that I made the decision to attend law school! Outside of classes, Mizzou Law offers a range of activities, competitions, and social events that I have loved participating in.

I look forward to meeting and connecting with future law students, so don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have!
