LU law school builds firm foundation in faith
By Liz Barry
Published: December 12, 2010
Liberty University School of Law, which received full accreditation from the American Bar Association in August, seeks to position itself as a leader within the small niche of conservative evangelical law schools in the United States, said the school’s dean, Mathew Staver.

The goal is to train “champions for Christ,” according to the LU motto, or Christian lawyers who will work in all fields of law, guided by their conservative values and God-centered education.

At LU, law is yet another avenue for evangelism.

“Literally, there’s no area that we don’t want our students to be in,” Staver said. “We see that when Christians and people of moral values retreat from any area then that becomes a vacuum. We have no one to blame but ourselves if we retreat.”

Receiving full accreditation was a milestone for the fledgling law school, which was established in 2004 and currently enrolls 318 students.

A couple of interesting facts in the article:
(1) one of our students in a Harvard Ph.D. in his 60s.
(2) of the 318 law students, only 20% of them have an undergrad degree from LU.

Quite laughable to read some of those comments. Sad that so many people want to see LU fail. Will be nice when we get to 25,000+ resident students and the majority of people in Lynchburg are either LU students, almuni living in town, or working for the school. In 100 years this town will be a much differen place!

that 60 year old form Harvard was also a former professor at Berkley if my memory is correct. Article could have been better, but they stayed with a select few, which I understand why....love law school
