Falwell's New Law School to Teach Integrating Faith with Law
ROANOKE, Va. -- The Rev. Jerry Falwell will open a law school this month in hopes of training a generation of attorneys who will fight for conservative causes."We want to infiltrate the culture with men and women of God who are skilled in the legal profession," Falwell said in a telephone interview Tuesday with The Associated Press. "We'll be as far to the right as Harvard is to the left."
Graduates of the law school--part of Falwell's Liberty University in Lynchburg, which is affiliated with his Baptist ministry--could tackle such issues as abortion rights and gay marriage, Falwell said. Classes begin Aug. 23 for the first-year class of 61 law students. . . .
[F]alwell said his law school will be similar to its Christian-leaning counterparts like Regent University in Virginia Beach, which religious broadcaster Pat Robertson founded.
There are now multiple right-wing fundamentalist Christian law schools in this country???!!! Chrikey! Details here from the AP via the Virginia Daily Press. (via How Appealing)

I would like to know if I can get an application to submit to the school for enrollment. I will be graduating May 2005 and will be enrolling in college in the Fall.
Thank you for your time.
