Why Ma’rifa?
Faith-Based Approach
Our program is grounded in Shi'i thought and practice, with experienced Shi'i legal practitioners guiding our approach. We aim to enrich our members' professional journeys by collectively exploring the meaning and purpose of a legal career as a tangible form of service to our communities and the Imam of Our Time.
Sharing Experience
Our Scholars, who are current law students and practicing legal professionals, offer a wealth of firsthand experience. They provide invaluable guidance on navigating the modern law school application process and the unique rigors of building a faith-centered legal career, both of which are increasingly selective and demanding fields.
Building Our Community
Mentorship is an act of service that allows our Scholars to guide the next generation of legal practitioners. In turn, many who begin this journey as advisees are inspired to continue as Scholars themselves, perpetuating a cycle of support that directly contributes to the spiritual and professional growth of their Shi'i peers and strengthens our entire community.
