At St. Thomas, we take faculty scholarship seriously because we take your legal education seriously. You will be taught by professors who are leading experts in their fields, who will not only teach you the doctrine and skills needed to function as a lawyer, but who will push you to understand the origins, purposes, and shortcomings of law in a given area, and help you carve out paths of possible societal engagement and reform in which you can play a role. A recent study showed that the St. Thomas faculty is among the top 30 most frequently cited law faculties in the country, showing that our professors are not just prolific, but that their work is also relevant. Our commitment to scholarship is not a distraction from our commitment to teaching – it is central to our commitment to teaching. Please spend a few minutes listening to these professors explain how their scholarship enriches the classroom experience at St. Thomas:
