ABOUT THIS BLOG

The Center’s mission is to help aspiring lawyers discern how to fulfill God’s calling in the legal profession. The Center achieves its mission in several ways. First, the Center’s nationally recognized mentor program connects students with Christian lawyers and judges who help students appreciate how the mentor has responded to God’s call and how the student can do so. Second, the Center shows students the process by which students develop a concrete plan in each of the three years of law school. Having this discernment plan as a guide, students explore potential ways to serve God in law. Throughout their law school experience, students continually refine their discernment plan. Regularly consulting their alum mentor, their faculty mentor, and God ensures that students accurately discern a match between the student’s gifts and legal needs. Third, the Center provides training in moral development and decision-making. Students hear from their mentors and practicing lawyers about the moral dilemmas inherent in legal practice and how to resolve them. In addition, the Center engages the community by offering Continuing Legal Education (CLE) programs.
