About Joey Dougherty, 1L

Majors: Creative Writing and Communication—Journalism

I chose Mizzou Law because the sense of community was immediately apparent between faculty and students and among the student body itself. I was prepared to engage in a cutthroat learning environment where everyone was out to get each other, but quickly realized that was not the case here. Every classmate wants the other to succeed. From study groups to extra-curriculars, you can see collaboration and camaraderie at work. Mizzou Law also has markedly impressive bar passage and job placement rates, facts which set my mind at ease and made me realize Hulston Hall was the right place for not only my time as a student, but would be a key factor in setting me up for success in a future career.
