Searching for truth, his way

Christopher Wolfe, the demanding professor whose classes in constitutional law and civil liberties have challenged Marquette University students for almost 30 years – and helped many decide whether they have what it takes to pursue law school – will leave his academic home in May, and not for the usual reasons.

He’s not ending his academic career. Nor is he going to a rival university – not exactly.

Wolfe intends to work on establishing a university of his own, one inspired by the intellectual approach of St. Thomas Aquinas, the 13th-century Roman Catholic theologian and philosopher.
