A
Notre Dame legal education transcends mere professional
competence. The traditions and the mission of both the
University and the Law School inspire and welcome students
to approach the law from ethical, moral and religious
perspectives.
The
curriculum of the Law School provides students with
the opportunity to develop and hone those skills required
of any competent attorney, yet it also provides the
opportunity for students to enroll in any number of
courses, such as Catholic Social Thought, where legal
issues intersect with religious and ethical issues.
In addition to these curricular offerings, the environment
at the Law School is such that students can comfortably
discuss the relationship between one's faith and one's
professional responsibilities and aspirations. Ultimately,
the Catholic identity of Notre Dame Law School undergirds
the School's commitment to educate a different kind
of lawyer -- a Notre Dame Lawyer.

"Our
challenge as one of the nation's premiere law schools
is dual -- to be Catholic, with a wide spectrum of philosophical
viewpoints that eschews a narrow parochialism, and to
be great. Building on our traditions and our mission,
we seek to educate a different kind of lawyer -- one
who is extraordinarily competent and committed to the
ideals of the profession, as well as one who recognizes
the obligation to turn prudential judgment to the service
of others.

"...to
be Catholic means to be universal, and so the very essence
of the University's identity will lead Notre Dame to
become more and more international in reach. Christianity
transcends national borders, as does scholarship and
learning. Indeed, the notion of a "Catholic university"
...argues powerfully for an education that is boldly
international."
