Notre Dame Law School

The Notre Dame Law School stands at the center of two ancient traditions: the English tradition of common law based in court decisions, customs, and common usages; and the Catholic tradition, which brings specific spiritual and moral values to bear upon legal judgments.

These traditions complement one another, adding value, richness, and a healthy tension that sharpens debate and deepens the perspective of every law student. Firm in its belief that the legal profession as a whole would benefit from its distinctive perspective, the Notre Dame Law School aspires to be counted among the top 20 law schools in the nation.

To achieve that position, the Law School will require an infusion of faculty in the form of endowed professorships, competitive financial aid packages to ensure the presence of the very best students, an elevation in the quality of its library, and a renovation and expansion of the current law school facility.

The Spirit of Notre Dame campaign seeks $110,000,000 toward these goals.
