Fordham Conference: Forming Lawyer-Stewards — The Special Role Of Religious Law Schools

Fordham hosts a conference on Forming Lawyer-Stewards: The Special Role of Religiously Affiliated Law Schools today and tomorrow (registration): 

Join us at the 2024 Religiously Affiliated Law School (RALS) biennial Conference, delving into the vital concept of stewardship — a principle deeply rooted in many of the world’s major religions. Our aim is to explore the critical role of lawyers as stewards of both our communities and the world. Employing a dialogue-based approach, the conference shall bring attendees together in small but diverse working groups where they will discuss how stewardship intersects with key areas such as the environment, criminal justice, and immigration. We look forward to welcoming students, legal scholars, law school administrators, and legal practitioners' voices as we explore the concept of lawyer-stewards.
