About Joshua Rogers, 2L

Hometown: Springfield, Ill.

Major: Criminology and Criminal Justice

I chose Mizzou Law for its tight-knit community. When searching for law schools, I heard about many where students were cutthroat and willing to do anything to get ahead of their peers. I have always valued a more collaborative approach to education. Throughout this search, I was unable to find a more supportive environment than the one at Mizzou Law. Every single student that I have met is willing to go above and beyond to help out their fellow classmates. This courtesy is even extended beyond the classroom. Given how stressful law school can be, it’s comforting to know that I can count on my peers to help me back up if I fall down.
