“Better Angels is attempting to develop the capacity of …Americans to engage in respectful conversations, where we humanize the other side. The goal is not to agree on the issues, but to find some of our common humanity and to help our polarized nation.” – BILL DOHERTY , CO-FOUNDER OF THE NONPROFIT BETTER ANGELS, AT THE LAW SCHOOL’S SPRING MISSION ROUNDTABLE

“A rule governing parental leave is an idea whose time has come. As the bench and bar continue to focus on initiatives to advance equity and well-being within the profession, designated rules on professional leave speak to both.”

– MICHAEL BOULETTE ’10 J.D. IN HIS MSBA’S BENCH AND BAR MAGAZINE ARTICLE, “THIRD CHILD. FIRST REAL PARENTAL LEAVE. WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?”

“Catholic social teaching concepts of subsidiarity and solidarity provide the guiding principles to integrate participation, because together they can account for all stakeholders while advancing business goals.” – PROFESSOR MARIANA H.C. GONSTEAD AND RACHANA CHHIN ‘15 J.D./CSMA IN THE ARTICLE THEY CO-WROTE, “GOD’S PARTICIPATORY VISION OF A GLOBAL SYMPHONY: CATHOLIC BUSINESS LEADERS INTEGRATING TALENTS THROUGH DISPUTE AND SHARED DECISION SYSTEM DESIGN,” IN THE HUMANISTIC MANAGEMENT JOURNAL “Presidents don’t leave their core values behind when approaching clemency. President Trump’s reliance on public figures to guide him (rather than the institutional pardon process) should not surprise us, and it is within the Constitution’s norms.” – PROFESSOR MARK OSLER @OSLERGUY IN A TWEET AFTER HEARING THAT HIGH-PROFILE INDIVIDUALS WERE GRANTED CLEMENCY BY PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP “I have spent most of my adult life drafting, supporting and litigating abortion legislation. I am convinced that we gain little by a frontal attack at this time. Every case we lose further entrenches the judicially created myth that abortion is a constitutional or, even worse, a human right.” – PROFESSOR TERESA COLLETT IN AN OPINION ARTICLE FOR USA TODAY TITLED, “PRO-LIFE LAWYER: I WANT ABORTION ABOLISHED, BUT DIRECT CHALLENGES TO ROE HURT OUR CAUSE”
