Second Lt. Allison Sturgeon graduated summa cum laude from Norwich University in April of 2022. She is now a second-year law student at Marquette University School of Law in Milwaukee.
She graduated from Officer Candidate School in Quantico, Virginia and was commissioned before she started law school a year ago.
During the summer of 2023, she was on active duty for most of the summer at the Legal Office for Commander, Marine Forces Reserve in New Orleans, before returning to Milwaukee to begin her second year of law school.
While there, she made some great contacts for ROA, demonstrating the Law Review Library to the Marine Corps judge advocates assigned to that office, including the Staff Judge Advocate of the Marine Corps Reserve.
Sturgeon will graduate from law school in May 2025 and then will report to Quantico for The Basic School (TBS).
In the Marine Corps, all officers are infantry officers first, and all must attend TBS. After she completes TBS, she will attend the Basic Lawyer Course at the Naval Justice School in Newport, R.I.
