The Intersection of Christianity & the Law
How does a lawyer’s faith influence their professional life? To what extent should it?
On Thursday, November 20, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. in The Wolfberg Courtroom, Widener Law Commonwealth will host a continuing legal education program examining the Intersection of Christianity & the Law. Drawing from the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct, speakers will explore how moral and ethical considerations intersect with a lawyer’s duties—to clients, to the legal system, and to personal conscience.
The discussion will consider questions such as:
- How can faith inform a lawyer’s sense of justice and public service?
- In what ways might moral or spiritual beliefs guide ethical decision-making?
- Where are the boundaries between personal conviction and professional obligation?
Featured Speakers:
- The Honorable P. Kevin Brobson ’95, Justice, Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
- The Honorable Eric G. Bruggink, Judge, United States Court of Federal Claims, Washington, D.C.
- Michael Moreland, Professor of Law, Villanova Law School, and Director, Eleanor H. McCullen Center for Law, Religion and Public Policy
- Hannah M. Schroer, Esq., Barley Snyder; President, St. Thomas More Society of Central Pennsylvania
Moderated by:
- Anton Sorkin, Director of Law Student Ministries at Christian Legal Society; Affiliate Professor, Trinity Law School
This program has been approved for 1.5 CLE credits (1.0 Ethics and 0.5 Substantive).
Reception to follow in the Deans' Gallery.
