Of course it is! One of the finest people I’ve ever met, the believing Baptist Dean of a Southern Baptist Convention affiliated law school, managed it. In a course he taught called "Future Interests", that dealt with extremely complex methods of nullifying property rights (among other things), he told the class that we should not get involved in the morality of the things we were learning, but that we should understand that the things we were learning were tools to achieve an end desired by a client.

You have to understand that once a lawyer accepts a case, it is his ethical duty to use all legal and ethical means to achieve the client’ desired end. A lawyer is a lawyer, not a judge. But unlike a judge the lawyer can pick and choose his cases.

If he is uncomfortable with the representation, he just declines to accept it except when the prospective client has no other possible representation. I call your attention to Florida Judge George Greer. Judge Greer presided over the Terry Schiavo case.

He scrupulously followed the law, even though he was asked to leave his church because he didn’t allow the congregation’s beliefs to influence his decisions. Somewhere in your religious belief system there is a moral and ethical requirement to do your duty because it is your duty. That’s what Judge Greer did, and if you decide to go to law school, you will learn how that can be done while being true to your faith.As to which law school you should go to, simply avoid those that advertise themselves as "Christian" law schools.

They produce judgmental lawyers with more loyalty to their own morality than to their clients. And in my experience, they are no more ethical, and possibly less so, than graduates of schools that simply teach the law. Good luck.

I don’t know the answer to this, and many people will have their own opinions based on their beliefs and what flavor of Christianity they follow (and to what extent). Ultimately, it’s your own personal decision - what are you comfortable with? As far as schools go: You didn’t specify your denomination, so I’m assuming Catholic would be ok.

I'm also assuming you're in the U.S. Notre Dame is one of the best known Catholic universities, and has a law school. There are several others. Additionally, a web search revealed the following gem (link to full article): Q: Have you also explored the rise in students attending conservative Christian law schools?

What do you see as its possible repercussions? I visited two Christian law schools, Ave Maria and Regent University. I would say that students at these schools are getting a very competent legal education.

A greater percentage of Ave Maria’s students passed the bar than any other law school in the state (including the University of Michigan). In addition to their legal education, though, they are getting an education in the Judeo-Christian foundations of our law. There are those who would say that reading Aristotle or Aquinas is not part of a law school curriculum, but I see no evidence that these students are planning to turn this country into a theocracy.

If anything, I would say this missionary generation has a better understanding than, say, the Religious Right of the 1980s, about the separation of religious and secular law in a liberal constitutional republic. Sources: NPR article: Religious Schools Train Lawyers for Culture Wars .
