A Message from the Dean

The law is a powerful tool, and Campbell School of Law views the practice of law as a calling, a means to serve others and to become effective advocates for legal and social justice.

You will experience a demanding academic program that will equip you with superb professional skills for a purposeful life of leadership and service. Campbell School of Law graduates are marked by their ability to step into the real world practice of law.

We are small by choice; we value quality over quantity. At Campbell School of Law, you are an individual we know and care about, not a number.

The success of our legal education is built on our faculty's profound commitment to students and teaching. You will find open faculty doors; faculty who will mentor you; faculty who care about their teaching. Our faculty engages in meaningful scholarship, reflecting a quest for knowledge that informs their teaching, but never at the expense of your professional development. We take our mission of educating you seriously, because we know you will impact many lives as an attorney.

We offer a Christian perspective on law and justice; we encourage students to examine the intersection of spiritual and legal issues. At Campbell School of Law you will explore the theological foundations of the law and thoughtfully consider how to achieve a more just society. At the same time, our student body is diverse. We welcome students of all faiths and secular moral traditions. We are committed to free and open discussion of ideas.

I hope you will fully explore Campbell School of Law, a place where great lawyers are made. We are not an ordinary law school; we are extraordinary in our focus on you and your future clients. If you want to be an ethical, confident lawyer-one who can succeed and serve-we invite you to apply for admission.

My staff and I will assist you in any way we can.

Very best regards,
