Julius Theodore Rohwer - Elkhorn, WI

Julius – or Jay to his friends and colleagues - practices civil litigation as an associate attorney with Godfrey, Leibsle, Blackbourn and Howarth, S.C. Jay is a graduate of Marquette University Law School’s class of 2025.

While pursuing his legal education, Jay gained valuable hands-on experience working under the supervision of experienced practitioners pursuant to Wisconsin’s Student Practice Rule. During one notable matter, Jay drafted a comprehensive brief in an eviction proceeding that was submitted by his supervising attorney before a newly appointed judge. The quality of the legal research and writing earned repeated praise from the bench, with the judge specifically commending the supervising attorney for the brief's clarity, thoroughness, and persuasive legal arguments.

Jay’s hands-on experiences also included an internship with the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, District II, where he gained valuable insight into the appellate system in Wisconsin.

As a student, Jay was also an energetic mock/moot court competitor. Jay competed both in Marquette’s Intramural Jenkins Honors Moot Court program and the nationally recognized William B. Spong Moot Court Competition in Virginia. Jay also assumed a leadership role as the 2024-2025 Associate Justice for Education for the Marquette University Law School Moot Court program. Jay particularly enjoyed coaching his junior classmates in mock argument in his final year of law school.

Outside the law, Julius enjoys cycling Southeastern Wisconsin’s many bike trails, reading novels, and studying history.
