Another coup for St. Thomas

It's being reported over at the Volokh Conspiracy that Professor Michael Stokes Paulsen will be leaving the University of Minnesota and moving across town to the University of St. Thomas.  This is, in my view, a fabulous hire, one that -- coupled with the news about our own Susan Stabile and Joel Nichols -- really brings home how successful the St. Thomas experiment has been.  In terms of law-and-religion, it seems clear to me that St. Thomas is now home to one of the strongest groups of scholars in the country.

Many of us are interested in the enterprise of Catholic legal education, even if we teach at non-Catholic institutions.  What lessons does the St. Thomas experience hold out for us, and for other Catholic law schools?
