In the opening session, Regent Law Professor Jeff Brauch introduces the concept of Higher Law—the idea that there exists a moral authority above human-made law. He explores how this principle, rooted in Scripture and natural law, forms the foundation of the Western legal tradition. This session sets the stage for understanding law as a pursuit of justice grounded in divine truth.
