1. 50 Questions on the Natural Law : What It Is and Why We Need It
Charles Rice, Law Professor Emeritus, Notre Dame
Nonfiction

2. This is by far the best books I've ever read on the subject of the natural law. The Q&A format is very well suited to the subject and he asks all of the right questions to the point that you can anticipate them -- it really flows smoothly. I highly recommend the book for religious-minded law students who want an alternative to the prevailing modern law theories where God is absent from the discourse. Charles Rice does a very thorough, scholarly job with this book. Highly recommended. Charles E. Rice demonstrates his capability as a legal scholar in this great treatment of natural law. Not only is this book filled with great information on traditional natural law thinkers such as Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas, it is full of contemporary legal examples that concretize the discussion and bring natural law out of the abstract realm into our everyday lives.

Charles Rice was one of my law professors at Notre Dame. He was and is an amazing intellect. Remembered generally as the toughest of all the law professors, he demanded that his students memorize all of the footnotes in Prosser on Torts. He tested us with about 25 'fill in the blank' questions where the students had to insert the correct words perfectly. However, the essay portions of his tests were quite a bit tougher. 'A's' were very rare and 'B's' were coveted. Roughly 80% of his classes earned grades of 'D' through 'C.' Oh, and 10% 'F's.'

Professor Rice was and is a devout Catholic, a loving father and family man. He is one of my favorite professors of all time and a man that I admire and respect deeply.
