As
Notre Dame law students develop and refine those legal
skills that will prepare them for their careers, they
also have the opportunity to grow in their faith and
to understand how their faith can support and influence
their work as aspiring attorneys.
Law
students at Notre Dame represent a rich tapestry of
faith backgrounds. In addition to the approximately
seventy percent of Notre Dame law students who classify
themselves as Catholic, students identify themselves
as Baptists, Evangelical and nondenominational Christians,
Jews, Hindus, as well as a number of other faiths.
Notre Dame law students find that their faith lives
are supported and enlivened in any number of ways: through
classroom discussions that involve ethical and religious
issues; from particular law classes that directly relate
to social justice issues and Catholic social teaching;
through informal conversations that occur with faculty
and classmates; and through participation in any number
of organizations and activities sponsored by the Law
School, the University, or student groups such as the
St.
Thomas More Society, the Christian
Legal Society, or the Social
Justice Forum. The St. Thomas More Chapel, located
on the first floor of the Law Building, provides a place
where students can pray.
Law
students may attend Mass throughout the week at the
Sacred Heart Basilica. Additionally, students and faculty
may attend Mass on Fridays in the St. Thomas More Chapel
located in the Law Building or Sunday evening Mass in
the Law Student Lounge. Law students are welcomed to
serve as lectors, Eucharistic ministers, singers and
musicians at Mass.
The
Office of Campus Ministry regularly sponsors retreats
and other events to which law students are invited.
The Office of Campus Ministry also works closely with
students of other faiths to help them connect with a
congregation or church of their choice.
