The Full Form of NDLS is‍ Notre Dame Law School.

Notre Dame Law School is the professional graduate law school of the University of Notre Dame. Established in 1869, it is the second oldest Catholic law school in the United States behind Saint Louis University School of Law. 

At Notre Dame Law School, we see the law as more than just a profession. 

We encourage students to view the practice of law as a service to others, to explore the moral and ethical dimensions of the law, and to discover their unique roles in furthering the cause of justice.

As an eminent law school at the heart of a great Catholic university, our view of legal education is informed and inspired by our religious tradition. It’s a tradition that spans the globe, embraces people of all backgrounds, and illustrates the possibilities of dialogue between reason and faith.
