About the course

The serious study of law is never far from the hard work of evaluation, of coming to judgments about the justice, fittingness, or even the efficiency of the legal doctrines and statutes that are the bread-and-butter of law school classes. Indeed Notre Dame Law School has a deserved reputation not only for fostering robust debate on legal issues, but also for focusing on the intersection of ethics, public policy, and the law. Nothing less could be expected of a Catholic law school whose mission it is to encourage students of diverse backgrounds, experiences, and commitments ?to cultivate both the life of the mind and the wisdom of the heart, to pursue their studies with a passion for the truth, and to dedicate their professional and personal lives to serve the good of all the human family. Learning law therefore is not just a descriptive undertaking at Notre Dame Law School. It is prescriptive as well. In most classes, however, the doctrines and statutes are the main topic of discussion. In almost all first-year courses and in many at the upper-level, identifying the relevant legal norms, understanding what they mean, and applying them intelligently to practical problems is the central goal. Of necessity, evaluation is secondary. For example, first year courses stress that contracts are enforceable promises, property titles should be clear and stable, and tort recovery systems ought to be efficient.
