Integration of Faith and Law
The foremost distinctive of Regent Law is its Christian perspective. We couple rigorous scholarship with an emphasis on spiritual integrity, educating a different kind of lawyer uniquely prepared to practice law.
Regent Law’s faculty, a diverse group of legal scholars, professors, and practitioners, actively inform the most pressing legal questions of our time. Our faculty’s excellence in legal scholarship and their commitment to the Christian perspective create a vibrant intellectual community, part of a rich and stimulating curriculum.
Outstanding Advocacy Skills
Regent Law’s advocacy skills programs train students in the legal skills of negotiation, trial advocacy and appellate advocacy, developing competition teams that have seen extraordinary success and are among the top teams in the nation.
In 2007, two Regent Law students went head to head with 219 other teams from the nation’s top law schools to take first place in the prestigious American Bar Association (ABA) National Negotiation Competition - the second consecutive national win for Regent Law. In 2006, a team of Regent students won the ABA’s National Appellate Advocacy Competition, winning the moot court contest and placing first for the nation’s Best Brief.
More recent wins include the 2009 William B. Spong, Jr. Invitational Moot Court Tournament, and the 2009 Robert R. Merhige Jr. National Environmental Negotiation Competition.

Training Servant-Leaders
Raising up the next generation of servant leaders has been a focus of Regent since the beginning. Former Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell is just one of the many alumni who are utilizing talents and skills honed at Regent to serve others and make a difference in key legal positions.
Regent Law graduates often describe their law school experience as life-changing, and the experience enables them to truly make a difference in their communities, in the nation, and abroad. They serve as judges, legislators, human rights advocates, and lawyers in public and private practice.
