Center for Jewish Law & Judaic Studies

The DePaul University College of Law Center for Jewish Law & Judaic Studies is dedicated to the Advancement of Multi-Disciplinary Jewish Education from a Broad Spectrum of Perspectives.

JLJS is dedicated to promoting multi-disciplinary education in Jewish law, philosophy, theology, history, and culture among members of the bar, the academy, the greater Chicagoland Jewish community, and all others who are sincerely interested in what Judaism has to say about issues of critical contemporary significance.

• To educate Jews and non-Jews about the genius and continued relevance of Jewish law and ethics to contemporary times.
• To offer continuing legal education in areas of law that intersect with Jewish concerns.
• To advance the academic study of Judaism.

JLJS reflects the diverse education and experience of its director. Before joining the DePaul faculty, Professor Steven Resnicoff studied for a number of years in a traditional yeshiva and received an advanced Orthodox rabbinic ordination from the late sage, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, of blessed memory.

The breadth of insights and experiences that JLJS programming examines is also reflected by the wide spectrum of perspectives among the women and men composing its Professional Advisory Board. DePaul University and its College of Law are historically known for welcoming Jewish applicants as well as applicants from all ethnic, minority and religious groups. With the support of the College of Law, JLJS aspires to become a major force in Jewish legal education in the Chicago area and throughout the United States.
