There’s a new pathway between Seguin and San Antonio, thanks to a formal agreement between Texas Lutheran University and the St. Mary’s University School of Law. The two institutions are working together to help TLU graduates map their course to law school — and in turn, to bring exceptional students to St. Mary’s Law. Winston Erevelles, Ph.D., President of St. Mary’s University, speaks before the MOU signing on Sept. 4 at Texas Lutheran University in Seguin.

With the recent addition of the Microenterprise and Community Development Clinic, St. Mary’s Law’s six clinics in its Center for Legal and Social Justice provide legal service and information to individuals who could not otherwise afford legal representation. The five established clinics are the Consumer Protection Clinic, Criminal Justice Clinic, Family Law Clinic, Immigration and Human Rights Clinic, and the Real Estate Clinic.

The St. Mary’s University School of Law ranked No. 17 nationally for recent graduates being hired for long-term, full-time positions in government. Using the American Bar Association Employment Outcomes 509 Report, Law.com ranked the top 20 schools that sent the greatest number of students to government jobs. For 2025, 41 St. Mary’s Law graduates found employment in the governmental sector.
