For All the Saints & Other Treasures

   Speaking of summer reading, the new issue of the Journal of Catholic Legal Studies (v.46 n.1) includes an all-star MOJ line-up.  For those who are interested in the nexus between Catholic spirituality and law practice, it collects a good part of the series we did here at Fordham in 2005-2006 as part of our Catholic Lawyer’s Program: “For All the Saints:  How the Lives of Extraordinary Catholics Can Shed Light on the Ordinary Practice of Law.”  It includes contributions by MOJ friend Gregory A. Kalscheur, S.J., Ignatian Spirituality and the Life of the Lawyer:  Finding God in All Things—Even  in the Ordinary Practice of the Law; Fordham Law Professor Jacqueline Nolan-Haley, Finding Interior Peace in the Ordinary Practice of Law:  Wisdom from the Spiritual Tradition of St. Teresa of Avila and that MOJ super-star, Michael A. Scaperlanda, “Lawyering in the Little Way of St. Thérèse of Lisieux with Complete Abandonment and Love.” And here’s the link to my brief symposium overview.

   The same issue also includes an article co-authored by Steve Bainbridge, The Bishop’s Alter Ego:  Enterprise Liability and the Catholic Priest  Sex Abuse Scandal (I’ll leave it to Steve to tell you more) and a terrific piece by MOJ friend Gerald Russello, Catholic Social Thought and the Large Multinational Corporation.

   Thanks to the fact that my dear friend Rob has educated not only his seven-year old daughter, but also myself, about the feasibility and importance of healthy internet links, I hope that you can just press those differently-colored words and they will safely bring you to your intended destination.  If you end up at some other destination it's all Rob's fault.  Thanks also to Susan who while at St Johns negotiated a terrific collaboration between our Catholic Lawyer’s Program and the Journal of Catholic Legal Studies, and to Mike Simons who continues to carry the flag.
