"The
emphasis on law as a profession and not a business,
the role of a lawyer as a counselor and not simply
a consultant and the range of possibilities open
to lawyers and the obligations that result from
having such possibilities are, I think, all a
direct result of Notre Dame being a Catholic institution.
These all make for a better lawyer, a more well-rounded,
well-grounded individual, and therefore a lawyer
who enjoys being a lawyer and able to weather
the stresses and strains of a challenging but
rewarding profession."

"The
special gift I received from my Notre Dame Law education
was the infusion of ethics and morality across the curriculum.
The law cannot be practiced in a vacuum, without a sense
of right and wrong. Not only did I graduate from Notre
Dame Law as a well trained lawyer, I also graduated
a better person. I should also note that Notre Dame's
focus on morality and ethics in the classroom and beyond
was not overbearing, nor did it impede the teaching
of the law. This is indeed a fine line and Notre Dame
walked it well."

| "There
is a feeling that comes with a Notre Dame legal education
that you are being prepared to be part of something greater
than just a profession--there is the law itself, the order
that comes from a just and equitable legal system, or
at least one that seeks to be; of knowing that the law
is based upon basic teachings that are universal about
how humans should behave toward each other and the knowledge
that there are higher laws that govern everything."

| "NDLS
offers a legal education on par with any of the 'elite'
law schools, in a community of people who truly care about
one another, with a unwavering commitment to moral and
ethical values that underlie our legal system. Many schools
offer the first strength; it is the combination of these
propositions that makes NDLS unique." |
