Professor Aaron Hernandez, L’13, returns to Marquette Law School in a full-circle moment that brings him back to where his legal journey began. Now joining the faculty as associate professor of practice and director of the National Sports Law Institute, Hernandez reenters the Marquette community with a deep connection to its mission and a commitment to shaping the next generation of sports law leaders.

For Joshua H. Hernandez, L’22, access to justice begins with empathy. "The legal profession can sometimes distance us from the everyday realities people face," he says. "My hope is that students develop empathy by meeting clients where they are and understanding the barriers many individuals encounter when seeking justice." That belief is what drew Josh back to Marquette University Law School in the summer of 2026, this time not as a student or volunteer, but as the assistant director of the Marquette Volunteer Legal Clinics (MVLCs), which is a part of the Office of Public Service.
