The Office for Career Development hosted its inaugural Motion to Mingle, bringing STU Law students together with judges, attorneys, alumni, and members of the legal community for an evening of networking and professional development.

Students had the opportunity to build meaningful connections, strengthen their networking skills, and engage directly with legal professionals while gaining valuable insight into the profession.

A special thank-you to our esteemed sponsors this evening would not have been possible without your generous support. We are also grateful to everyone who attended and helped make the inaugural Motion to Mingle a memorable evening for our STU Law community.

Professor Peter Martino recently presented his newly published book, Resurrection on Trial, during the STU College of Law faculty colloquium. The presentation coincided with the book’s publication on September 15.

Resurrection on Trial examines whether the historical evidence surrounding the events following the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth is best explained by the Christian claim of the Resurrection or by competing naturalistic explanations.

Written in the form of an appellate judicial opinion, the book approaches the question through a legal framework, complete with findings of fact, competing explanations, adverse authority, a holding, and a dissent. Professor Martino evaluates the historical evidence and competing explanations by asking a question particularly suited to the legal profession: What judgment does the evidence actually support?
