Local lawmakers, legal officials learn unity during Law Day
LORETTO, Pa. (WTAJ) — Local lawmakers and attorneys, judges and members of the legal community were schooled in the unity of law across the country. These officials met at St. Francis University's 43rd annual Red Mass and Law Day. They started off with a mass at the Immaculate Conception Chapel before moving to the John F. Kennedy Student Center for a luncheon and to hear from speakers. This year's theme was 'The Constitution's Promise: Out of Many, One,' which tells how the Constitution unites individuals despite their differences. School officials say that open dialogue and respectful conversations are the goal rather than continuous, tense arguments. 'We all have more in common than what binds us, you know?' St. Francis University President Fr. Malachi Van Tassell said. 'And so I think it's important at some point to kind of set aside our differences and just kind of hear each other out. It doesn't mean we have to come to an agreement. But at the same point, it's important to be able to talk civilly, agree to disagree and find those unifying elements where we can work together.' Notre Dame Vice President and General Counsel Marianne Corr was the keynote speaker, talking about her reflections on her career in law and advising those in attendance how the law is a uniting factor.
