The Lumen Christi Institute has partnered with the Catholic Lawyers Guild to offer a monthly close-reading seminar on “Great Texts in Legal History.” The seminar will be led by Austin Walker (Assistant Director of the Lumen Christi Institute) and moderated by Judge Tom Donnelly. This monthly online seminar will allow lawyers to read and analyze great short works that illuminate the relationship between law, ethics, free will, authority, and God. Selections are short enough to read immediately beforehand. We will also read them during the session.
