Quigley
Law Association
Introduction
The Quigley Law Association was created by alumni of Quigley, Quigley
North, Quigley South, and Archbishop Quigley Preparatory Seminary, and
the friends of these schools who serve or have served in the legal
community.
The purpose of the Quigley Law Association is to 1) provide for
personal camaraderie and professional development between and among
Quigley alumni and friends active in the legal professions; 2) enhance
alumni and friend support of the Quigley Scholars Program; and 3)
contribute, in any way that is possible, to the mission of educating
and supporting young men to respond to the call of Jesus Christ, "Come,
follow me."
The Quigley Law
Association and St. Thomas More
The Quigley Law Association has taken as its patron and annually
observes the June 22nd feast day of St. Thomas More. The Association
marks the occasion with Mass followed by the Association's annual
luncheon at which an honoree is awarded the Quigley Law Association's
St. Thomas More Primo Servus Dei Bonus (First of all the Good Servant
of God) award.
Criteria for
the Primo Servus Dei Bonus Award
Recipients of the Primo Servus Dei Bonus Award must plainly meet each
of the following three criteria:
- The recipient must be a practicing Catholic in unblemished
standing with the Church and a proponent of Catholic orthodoxy;
- The recipient must be of good moral character whose life work and
general conduct plainly and publicly are acknowledged as reflecting a
deep and sincere devotion to the Faith; and
- The recipient must have contributed outstanding and unselfish
service to the Church of a kind and in the spirit of St. Thomas More,
who famously remarked as he mounted the scaffold and addressed the
assembled crowd, that he was "the King's good servant, and God's
first."
Though not necessary to receive the recognition, candidates who also
meet any of the following three criteria are favored over those who do
not:
- Candidates who are graduates, former faculty or administrators of
Quigley are favored over candidates without such a connection to
Quigley.
- Candidates who are active in the legal profession, government,
politics and other related fields and who, in that capacity have
publicly advocated for policy views consistent with Catholic orthodoxy
even at personal risks to themselves or to their station in life.
- Candidates who have contributed materially to the support and
encouragement of vocations to the priesthood, either through the
Quigley Alumni Office, The Quigley Scholars Program and other similar
endeavors, or who, though more personal and private initiatives but
consistently and successfully have brought vocations to the priesthood.
Nominations will be solicited throughout the year. The award is not
made annually and will not be made in the absence of candidates deemed
suitably distinguished.
