On the NDLS Experience
“Being a ‘double Domer’, I’ve had plenty of time to think about what makes Notre Dame the best and most complete university experience. I could point to the excellent faculty, the peer relationships, an abundance of opportunities to enrich my faith, and even the buzz of campus on a crisp, home-game-Saturday afternoon in the fall. But what really makes Notre Dame great—and the reason that I applied to only one law school—is the intangible factor; coming to Notre Dame is coming home.”
On the NLDS Faculty
“The Law School faculty provides an education unrivaled by any other elite institution. While the credentials speak for themselves, two additional characteristics make our faculty the best in the business. First, each and every faculty member demonstrates a genuine investment in the learning and success of the NDLS students. Office visits outside of class are encouraged and often occur without appointment. In my experience, I have never felt that a professor cared more about advancing his or her career than my own. Second, but no less important, the faculty members of this law school are genuinely good people. They are perceptively united in a common pursuit of justice. Within that pursuit, the faculty members embody a range of views and interests that together enhance the educational opportunities of the students.”
