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.
