The Order of the Fleur de Lis is the highest honor from Saint Louis University School of Law. As a Catholic, Jesuit university, SLU’s mission is the pursuit of truth for the greater glory of God and for the service of humanity. Inductees are selected for living this mission in their everyday lives and throughout their careers.

Fr. Afonso Seixas-Nunes, SJ., professor of law, gave the evening's invocation. Law development director Michael Ruiz (Chaifetz ’12) and School of Law Dean William P. Johnson gave brief remarks.

“We have seen tonight compelling examples of lawyers doing good and meaningful works,” Johnson said at the end of the ceremony.

“These inductees have demonstrated a shared commitment to service and to the pursuit of justice. Each of our honorees offers an example of what’s possible when good people wield the law in positive ways, and that lifts my spirit and gives me hope. It gives me pride in our shared profession. I hope each of you shares a deep sense of pride in being lawyers not only who do well, but also who do good, and who seek justice.”
