FLASH: The Fordham Law Archive of Scholarship and History
Abstract
The author responds to Avery Cardinal Dulles\u27s essay and lecture Catholic Social Teaching and American Legal Practice, Fordham Urb. L.J., 277 (2002) (available at http://new.fordhamj.org/demonstration/dc/v30/27_30FordhamUrbLJ277(2002-2003).pdf). She provides a practical perspective on the applications of Catholic social teachings to the practice of law. She concludes that Catholic teachings and law intersect in two areas: in the lawyer\u27s discretion and in the lawyer\u27s professional interactions with others
