Law School Mission Statement


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.
