This is just for the sake of curiosity. I don't know any lawyers discerning the religious life but I was reading an article about Sr. Nirmala and discovered she holds a law degree. I'm sure that legal education comes in handy for anyone in any vocation, but what orders might specifically benefit from a Sister with extensive legal knowledge? The Sisters of Life? Orders which have specific apostolates for immigrants or healthcare?
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Anticipating our coming Lord,

The Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist have just received a new novice who happens to be a lawyer. They seem to have a number of sisters who do a variety of apostolates. You can read about the new novice in their website under "the latest".

The Vocation Director for a group of Capuchins (sp?) in the USA here that I met is a lawyer. he is actually able to represent the poor and abused at no cost. He entered after becoming a lawyer and says it is a great ministry to employ in his work.

I found this article on 2 sisters and a priest who won a suit to be admitted to the bar in Kerala, India. Article

I would imagine any community would be happy to have a lawyer. There is a lot of knowledge you could share with the community if you are a lawyer
