I read the other day about a tiff between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas state bar president Allan DuBois over whether a class offered by St. Mary’s University School of Law should get state continuing legal education credit. Much as it pains me to criticize a guy with such a proud name, I have to say that DuBois is wrong.
The dispute involves whether credit should be given to a class that explores the intersection of religious principles and legal ethics. St Mary’s describes itself as “a Catholic and Marianist institution [which] teaches students the practical skills that enable them to become professional leaders and effective advocates of legal and social justice.” From what I can see, the place is fairly mainstream, offering a JD, an LLM and a law-like graduate degree for non-lawyers. It also publishes a well-regarded ethics journal.
