"My law and religion degree has been integral to how I approach my practice of law. Representing the child welfare system in Georgia, I encounter families at their worst. Remembering law as a ministry, I am able to approach each case with the proper legal framework, but also with the necessary human framework."
–Laurie-Ann Fallon, JD/MTS 2005
Associate, Law Offices of Ashley Willcott
"I'm interested in advancing the protection and promotion of human rights around the globe. The law cannot do this alone; a variety of approaches is necessary, and religion is a vital element in this mix."
