OUR VISION<br />

<strong>Campbell</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> is a HIGHLY DEMAND-<br />

ING, PURPOSELY SMALL AND INTENSELY<br />

PERSONAL COMMUNITY of faculty and<br />

students whose aim, guided by transcendent values,<br />

is to develop lawyers who possess moral conviction,<br />

social compassion and professional competence<br />

and who view the practice of law as a calling to<br />

serve others and to create a more just society.<br />

The founding vision of <strong>Campbell</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> was a<br />

distinctive program based on limited enrollment,<br />

EXTENSIVE STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES<br />

FOR INTERACTION WITH FACULTY and rigorous<br />

intellectual and professional development.<br />

Since 1976, the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> has continuously prepared<br />

its graduates to serve their communities with<br />

legal skill and ethical and intellectual leadership—<br />

living up to the noblest tradition of the counselor.<br />

Our vision is realized through a DEMANDING<br />

ACADEMIC PROGRAM that holds students to<br />

the highest expectations in thinking, preparation<br />

and application. Students are challenged to make<br />

relevant and valid judgments, to discriminate<br />

among values and maintain the highest standards<br />

of professional excellence. Small classes and a<br />

supportive intellectual community help to develop<br />

lawyers of STRONG MORAL CHARACTER<br />

with disciplined and creative minds.<br />

Combining <strong>our</strong> rigorous <strong>academic</strong> program with<br />

comprehensive skills training in trial and appellate<br />

advocacy, legal writing, planning, negotiation and<br />

client counseling, we bring together the theoretical<br />

and practical to produce PRACTICE-READY<br />

LAWYERS.<br />

We produce highly competent, deeply compassionate<br />

lawyers who see the practice of law as a<br />

CALLING TO SERVE OTHERS and promote<br />

the understanding that reconciling differences is as<br />

important as winning cases. Our graduates become<br />

effective advocates locally and throughout the world<br />

for transformative legal and social justice, helping<br />

those most in need.<br />

We enc<strong>our</strong>age <strong>our</strong> students to examine the relationship<br />

between SPIRITUAL AND LEGAL<br />

ISSUES, to explore the theological foundations<br />

for law and to consider how we can help achieve a<br />

more just and merciful society. We recognize the<br />

immeasurable dignity and worth of every person in<br />

a congenial <strong>academic</strong> environment where everyone<br />

is treated with kindness, civility and respect. We<br />

welcome students from all faiths and secular moral<br />

traditions, and are committed to FREE AND<br />

OPEN DISCUSSION OF IDEAS.
