I think that I understand the concern, but it seems to me to be quite frankly a bit alarmist. There is by implication in the idea that lawyers trained by a confessional institution are inherently more prejudiced a certain hubris that those from secular institutions are somehow less prone to bias. This rather emphatically contradicts the well-worn fact that EVERYONE harbours biases and prejudices on various levels, and ignores reality in which people can be trained—and do effectively manage—to look past their own prejudices.
