Kathy Fox has been working with Michigan law students as they study the law and prepare to practice it for nearly 25.
Since 2002, Fox has worked in leadership roles in admissions and/or career development activities at Cooley Law School in Lansing, Wayne State University Law School in Detroit, and now at Michigan State University College of Law – with the exception of one year at Syracuse University College of Law.
“I have been in legal education in Michigan for a long time,” Fox said. “And I am proud that I had a hand in shaping a whole generation of lawyers who choose to practice here.”
Fox’s philosophy for law student success is built on the relationship between admissions and career development. One of the most enjoyable aspects of her own career in legal education is helping new students envision “what a career can look like,” she said.
As the Assistant Dean of Admissions at MSU Law, Fox and her team are launching recruitment efforts for the Class of 2028. She wants students considering law school to understand that Michigan State offers the benefits of belonging to a Big Ten university while providing a unique learning environment with small class sizes and more engagement with professors.
“MSU College of Law is a safe space for students to explore various areas of the law,” she said. “It’s ok if they enter law school without knowing what kind of lawyer they want to be. We have excellent resources and mentors dedicated to helping demystify law school and make sure they are successful.”
Fox, a native of Milwaukee, Wisc., earned her J.D. from what is now Mitchell Hamline School of Law in Minneapolis-St. Paul and an MBA from the University of St. Thomas – Opus College of Business. She holds a BA in history from the University of Wisconsin.
