Seton Hall University School of Law is dedicated to
preparing students for the practice of law based upon
values that emanate from the Catholic tradition. The Law
School seeks to attract the most capable students and
faculty in the country who will bring a wide diversity
of perspectives and talents to the study of law.
Particularly through its evening program, the Law School
attracts non-traditional students with considerable
experience and responsibility. The curriculum includes a
strong emphasis on ethics as well as specialized courses
in both religious law and religion & the law. It
incorporates practical skills training and encourages
students to engage in pro bono work and representation
of indigent clients both during and after law school.
Respect, rigor and compassion are the hallmarks of the
learning environment.
Seton Hall University School of Law is dedicated to
excellence in teaching and scholarship, and values
academic freedom in the pursuit of both endeavors.
Scholarship enhances teaching while contributing to the
legal academy's intellectual enterprise. It effects
change in the law and public policy. Teaching and
scholarship are inextricably linked with service to the
community. The Law School commits substantial resources
to its clinical programs, and sponsors numerous events
each year that bring hundreds of community members to
the Law School for consideration and discussion of the
compelling issues of the day. Finally, faculty pursue
community service projects that promote issues of
importance to the Law School and University, and further
our social justice mission.
