The University of Notre Dame™s School of Law recently a new fellowship for aspiring legal scholars, and among its four inaugural fellows is alumnus Joseph Andres (™12).

The Murphy Fellowship aims œto support students exploring the area of law and religion, according to the school™s website. Fellows will conduct that exploration by following a program of studies that blends pre-existing tracks at Notre Dame Law School, including the Program on Church, State & Society and the Religious Liberty Initiative. 

For Mr. Andres, the intersection of these rich strains of inquiry naturally complements his study of theology, in which he earned a master™s degree from Ave Maria University. œMy primary purpose in going to law school is to put myself in a position to build up Catholic community at the natural level, he says. œLaw is an essential piece of that goal, and since the Murphy Fellowship is about exactly those things ” Church, law, and society ” I™m excited that there™s already an entire fellowship devoted to the goals I came here with.
