Summary

"This book traces the evolution of one small law school in America's heartland - the Valparaiso University School of Law - and examines the men and woman who fashioned a distinctive form of legal education - one that provides students with necessary knowledge and skills of law practice, while still furnishing opportunities for the development of moral, ethical, and religious values. These educational objectives were first articulated in 1940 by Valparaiso University President (the Rev.) Otto Paul Kretzmann, who declared in his inaugural address that the mission of a church-related institution is to make students knowledgeable, useful, wise, and "noble."" "This book, besides providing an in-depth history of a distinctive law school, raises significant questions about the accrediting process for American legal education. Yet, despite the standardizing and secularizing forces of law school accreditation, the Valparaiso University School of Law's mission remains the same - to prepare students to be useful, wise, and noble within the values-oriented and religiously-derived culture and traditions of Valparaiso University."--BOOK JACKET.
