Greetings -
Welcome to the website of the proposed Concordia University School of Law. I am glad that you found your way here and am excited about the prospect that Concordia University may fill an unmet need in the Treasure Valley.
As a resident of Idaho for more than two decades, and an active participant in the law community, I know first-hand the need for quality law education that exists in this region. Concordia University, located in Portland, Oregon, has a 104-year track record of providing high quality, service focused, Lutheran, liberal arts education and is well suited to bring this model of transformative leadership to Boise by establishing a law school. There is great demand in Boise to provide part- and full-time legal education to working professionals and other place-bound residents. There is also a need to serve graduates from across the Pacific Northwest and the entire country, including those who have degrees from other Concordia Universities or Lutheran universities. Having a private option for legal education in Boise ensures that no matter the economic condition of the state and the city, there will be a privately funded option, whose program offerings are distinctive from other regional options.
This spring we will have a more formal timetable established and will be able to fill in many of the questions that you may have. Until then, I hope that you will find this website beneficial and will sign up to receive additional communication regarding our progress.
Thank you for your interest in our School of Law.
Sincerely,
Cathy R. Silak, J.D., LL.M.
