Catholic Universtities with Law Schools

[PatienceAndLove]

a law school will not be teaching theology, unless it is a specialized canon law faculty, so the professors would not be required to sign the mandatum.

PA-
I want to get my Masters of Theology at the same time, so I want to be writing checks to only one university- so the mandatum is of importance. But I understand what you are saying. Danke

You may not be able to write one check to one university, esp. since both fields are very specialized. You said your husband isn’t Catholic, although I know, it wouldn’t hurt him to go to a Catholic university. That’s why I suggested a Catholic school with the mandatum for your MA, while he could go to a law school very nearby.

I recommend the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law law.udmercy.edu/
Founded in 1912, UDM is a well-established Catholic law school sponsored by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas. The school is approved by the American Bar Association and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools.
My DH received his JD/MBA here and it was a great experience for him. As the wife of a former law student I will pray for you law school is tough on a marriage/spouse. I know DH and I will make it though anything because we survived the bar exam, actually waiting for the Bar results was worse! Prayers for both of you.

I don’t have a law degree, but I do have a degree from UDM. My only regret is that I came to UDM as a transfer student and not right out of high school. I wish I’d done my entire bachelor’s degree there.

Plus the law school is right downtown, near the new Riverwalk, all the fun restaurants, etc.

If your husband is considering attending a law school that has or is likely to have a problem with its accreditation, check out the what the requirments are to take the bar in the state or states you think you might like to live.

Many states require that you graduate from an ABA accredited law school. It is going to be different from state to state. Assuming, he intends to practice law, it would be diasterous to graduate only to find out he can’t sit for the bar exam. The law degree would be essentially worthless.

It is also my understanding that you can’t get federal financial aid to attend a law school that isn’t ABA accredited. A friend of mine got accepted to an unaccredited law school several years ago and couldn’t go. There are private lenders if they will give you a loan.

Good luck to you and your husband.
