Faith Life

The University of St. Thomas School of Law welcomes students, faculty and staff of all faith traditions and backgrounds, and those unconnected to organized religion. Our community includes Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Lutherans, Buddhists and Mennonites. Within our walls, all are welcome.

Because we are a Catholic law school, we can be open about our beliefs. We can talk about how faith and reason can be integrated not only in the world of ideas, but in the day-to-day lives of practicing attorneys. Our faculty members challenge students to consider how they can practice law consistently with their personal convictions, including convictions grounded in faith. Our students strengthen and refine their moral compass while learning the law.

At St. Thomas Law, we do all of the things that are typically done at outstanding law schools. We teach and learn; research, write and publish; bring in academic and professional speakers; and host conferences. But we do it while integrating faith and reason in the search for truth through a focus on morality and social justice.
