About the Law School. Paper 8. http://scholarship.law.nd.edu/about_ndls/8 This Book is brought to you for free and open access by the Law School History at NDLScholarship. It has been accepted for inclusion in About the Law School by an authorized administrator of NDLScholarship. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Welcome to Notre Dame Law School! We are thrilled to be among the first to receive you into our family. We know that this is an exciting time for you and that, if you are anything like we were just a couple of years ago, you probably have plenty of questions about law school and Notre Dame. That‘s why we‘ve prepared the Guide. We hope it will answer many of your questions and that it will provide a window into Notre Dame Law School. We also hope that once you look through that window, you‘ll be as eager to join us as we are to have you! This is called an Insider‘s Guide because it has been written by students. Over the past year, we‘ve updated and revised old sections, compiled and created new sections, and edited and re-edited the whole book in hopes of making your transition to law school at Notre Dame easier. This isn‘t a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know to get through law school, but it is a great place to start. Whether you‘re trying to figure out where to live next year, what is the best way to get to and around South Bend, where to find a good restaurant, or what law students do on the weekend, the Guide is a terrific resource. Please note that some information may have changed since the date of publication, so be sure to confirm pertinent information. We all treasure our experiences here at NDLS. The professors, the students, and the staff of this law school are unique – their warmth, friendship, and true support have made studying law at Notre Dame fun and, undoubtedly, have provided us with a better hope that our enthusiasm, and that of other students, will be apparent throughout the Guide. The entire staff has appreciated reflecting on our experiences here and enjoyed putting the Guide together for you. And, although we know that you will receive a variety of information from the Law School and the University, we hope that this look at NDLS from the perspective of your soon-to-be colleagues will be valuable as you prepare for classes. Once again, welcome and we hope to see you in August!

J.D. or LL.B. as the Basic Law Degree? Marcus Schoenfeld* L EGAL EDUCATION IN THE United States is still evolving. In the past few decades the law schools have all but eliminated other means than law school study as preparation for the prac- tice of law. But, problems remain, especially in the area of content of the already crowded three-year day or four-year evening curricula, and in the area of graduate study. Compared to these major issues, the question of whether the first degree in law should be called an "LL.B." or a "J.D." seems trifling. Yet this is a very current question; the Special Committee on Graduate Study of the Association of American Law Schools is expected to report on this during the 1963 Annual Meeting. It is also ancient history, since "J.D.

Blantz C.S.C. Summary Thomas Blantz’s monumental The University of Notre Dame: A History tells the story of the renowned Catholic university’s growth and development from a primitive grade school and high school founded in 1842 by the Congregation of Holy Cross in the wilds of northern Indiana to the acclaimed undergraduate and research institution it became by the early twenty-first century. Its growth was not always smooth—slowed at times by wars, financial challenges, fires, and illnesses. It is the story both of a successful institution and of the men and women who made it so: Father Edward Sorin, the twenty-eight-year-old French priest and visionary founder; Father William Corby, later two-term Notre Dame president, who gave absolution to the soldiers of the Irish Brigade at the Battle of Gettysburg; the hundreds of Holy Cross brothers, sisters, and priests whose faithful service in classrooms, student residence halls, and 9780268108212 across campus kept the university progressing through difficult years; a dedicated lay Pub Date: 8/31/2020 faculty teaching too many classes for too few dollars to assure the university would $49.00 survive; Knute Rockne, a successful chemistry teacher but an even more successful Hardcover football coach, elevating Notre Dame to national athletic prominence; Father Theodore 752 Pages M.
