１９３１年、メキシコ生まれ。ハーバード大卒業後、ルイジアナ州の神学校などを経て、８４年、ローマ法王からボストン教区の大司教に任命される。しかし、同教区の神父が３０年にわたり１３０人の少年に性的虐待を行っていた事件などを隠蔽（いんぺい）していたとして批判を浴び、２００２年に辞任に追い込まれた。
事件を暴いた地元紙ボストン・グローブの調査報道は０３年のピュリツァー賞を受賞。同紙の取材活動を描いた映画「スポットライト　世紀のスクープ」（１５年）はアカデミー賞の作品賞と脚本賞を受賞した。（2017/12/20-16:54）

Within the church, he was devoted to building Catholic-Jewish relations, including leading a delegation of Jewish and other Massachusetts leaders in a 1986 visit to the Auschwitz death camp in Poland. He worked closely with church leaders in Latin America, acting as an unofficial envoy of the pope to Cuba and revolutionary leader Fidel Castro.

However, Law's legacy has been overshadowed by the scandal. In the notorious case that started the 2002 crisis, as recounted in the move "Spotlight," the Globe reported that Law and two of his predecessors as Boston archbishop had transferred former priest John Geoghan among parish assignments despite knowing he molested children. More than 130 people eventually came forward to say Geoghan abused them. The archdiocese paid $10 million in settlements with 86 of his victims and their relatives as Law was clinging to his job. It was nowhere near enough to ease the growing anger.
