"My experiences at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law have been incredibly enriching, and the LL.M. program has played a fundamental role in shaping my legal career as a current attorney in Wisconsin," said Bhanu Singh. "The LL.M. program introduced me to American law and gave me a deep understanding of the American legal system. Applying this knowledge, I passed the Wisconsin bar exam and became a licensed attorney, and I can confidently say that UMKC played a significant role in helping me achieve this milestone."

One of our most recent graduates looked a little different than the rest of his classmates. Nugget, the service dog of Rebekah Arwood (J.D. '26), received a "juris dogtor" in recognition of his time at UMKC School of Law. Nugget has attended classes and student activities with Rebekah for the last two years and was a familiar, welcome face to many on campus. We'll miss his happy presence and wagging tail, but we know Rebekah and Nugget will do great things!
