Some see the legal profession as more of a \u201ccalling\u201d than simply a job. For more religious would-be law students, faith is of such importance that they may seek it out in their legal educations. If you\u2019re searching for an institution where spirituality is as important as the law, then have we got a ranking for you.<\/p>\n

The National Jurist\u2019s preLaw Magazine recently released its Most Devout Law Schools ranking, highlighting the schools that are really doing their homework when it comes to incorporating matters of faith into their teaching of the law. For the second time in the history of this ranking, the schools are being presented in a single ranking, as opposed to separate rankings of the best law schools by denomination.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the methodology that was used:<\/p>\n

\n

The Most Devout Honor Roll is based on information gathered from law schools and other sources, including the percentage of students and faculty who belong to the faith; the number of religion-focused courses and other ways the school incorporates faith into its curriculum; religion-related journals, centers and clinics; religious services and clergy at the law school; and the mission of the law school.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Without further ado, here are the top 10 most devout law schools:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Liberty University\u00a0 \u2013 Baptist<\/li>\n
  2. Brigham Young University \u2013 Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints<\/li>\n
  3. Regent University \u2013 Interdenominational Evangelical<\/li>\n
  4. Ave Maria School of Law \u2013 Roman Catholic<\/li>\n
  5. University of St. Thomas (MN) \u2013 Roman Catholic<\/li>\n
  6. Trinity Law School \u2013 Evangelical Free Church of America<\/li>\n
  7. Catholic University \u2013 Roman Catholic<\/li>\n
  8. Mississippi College \u2013 Southern Baptist<\/li>\n
  9. Pepperdine University \u2013 Church of Christ<\/li>\n
