Staff at their Best
We guide students through the admissions process, schedule their classes, help them find employment, oversee law school finances, facilitate the use of technology and library resources, and assist faculty with their teaching and publishing. In these ways, we join in the law school’s quest to make Notre Dame a premier law school.

The Law at its Best
“In a world that too often sees knowledge as compartmentalized and truth as situational, Notre Dame is a place interested in the wholeness of truth. We are looking at universal truths, engaging the big questions, and discussing issues of ethics, morality, and social justice. In a faculty, staff, and student body which represent a wide spectrum of religious backgrounds and political views, we do not always agree on the answers to these fundamental questions. We are united, however, in our effort to raise these issues and to make them an integral part of our curriculum and scholarship.
—Dean Patricia O’Hara ‘74
