Housed within the St. Thomas University College of Law, the Benjamin L. Crump Center for Social Justice endeavors to create an army of social justice engineers; future attorneys that will advocate for the marginalized, the victimized, and the disenfranchised. The Catholic church’s social teachings emphasize that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. The Crump Center seeks to convene those aspects of society that are most in need of dialoge: policy makers, law enforcement, the judicial system, and affected communities. The expressed function of the Center is the elimination of injustice through education and advocacy.
