The Milwaukee Law School, founded in 1892 as the Milwaukee Law Class, was a law school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin which originated as a student-owned cooperative with two volunteer instructors. It later added additional professors, and in 1896 changed its name to Milwaukee Law School. It operated as a night school, holding classes in rented spaces in downtown Milwaukee. In 1908 it was acquired, along with Milwaukee University Law School, to become the core of Marquette University Law School.
