The Importance of University Engagement with Community
St. Mary’s University School of Law embodies the Catholic and Marianist ideals that have animated the University since its founding. As the only law school in San Antonio and the closest law school to the Texas-Mexico border, the School of Law takes seriously its responsibility to accompany underserved communities; to develop a culture of public service in its students and alumni; and to foster a student body engaged with its surrounding neighborhoods, region, nation and world.
This panel will discuss the St. Mary’s School of Law’s responsibility to develop a culture of public service in its students and alumni and foster a student body engaged with its communities. Its students, and graduates, are justice-ready: tenacious, skillful, compassionate advocates, ready to create a more-just community from day one.
