The rise of Brad Saxton’s prominence in the Connecticut legal community has mirrored the rise in stature of Quinnipiac University School of Law.

As the leader of the school for 11 years, Saxton has succeeded in building up a dispute resolution program that is among the top 20 in the nation. He also networked with leaders of the Connecticut Bar Association and developed working relationships with professors at nearby Yale Law School to create workshops and clinics that emphasize real-world experience at a time when law firms demand graduates who are able to find their way around the courtroom.
