completely separately from the main campus, had a faculty that appeared to be mostly Jewish, went out of its way to provide multi-faith services to students... It felt just as secular in most ways as the state school I went to for undergrad. All of which may be completely beside the point, I don't know. I'm just thinking that this list is attempting to say something by its categorization that may or may not be true of its entries. Maybe it would be cured by renaming it to something like,
217:. As regards the secular, non secular argument, it may be important to somebody looking for information on secular law schools, who don't want to be badgered at a religious organisation, because they are secular. Its good encyclopedic knowledge. Knowledge that is sorted is much better than knowledge that is generic and unsorted. It's a good subgrouping.
195:, but clearly does not contain all the "secular" schools from the latter list. I don't see any point in trying to make the list more complete, because even then it would merely duplicate information listed elsewhere, nor is there anything in the article to explain the alleged significance of a distinction between "secular" and "non-secular" law schools.

Just thinking out loud here... I'm wondering whether this list is predicated on a POV, that law schools connected to universities that have no religious affiliation are different in character from those that do. I went to a law school connected to a Jesuit university, but the law school was managed

The list has no purpose. U.S. law is secular, making it difficult to imagine what law schools would not appear on the list. (My best guesses as to what law schools would not deserve to be included are schools of sharia law, schools of Roman
Catholic ecclesiastical law, and schools of Judaic law, but

Pointless list, very incomplete, probably propounded by someone with a POV agenda. As pointed out by
Mandford, probably 90% of the 200 or so law schools in the United States do not have a religious bent or affiliation, but this list contains fewer than 50. Actually, if you want to make the

would benefit from an extra column to distinguish between private and public universities, and, to the extent that a private law school has a religious component, a note to that effect.
213:
What's wrong with duplicating information? The information is held under a different name, so in reality, it's not duplicated, it's just ordered differently and as such is a different

Since a majority of law schools (and 100% of the publicly-funded ones) are "secular", this is a pointless exercise. Might as well make a list of U.S. Senators who are white males.
