Christian
Legal Society is a non-denominational, non-fundamental,
apolitical, organization that seeks anyone at any stage of
their faith walk. Our members strive for a life of meaning and
a way to use our future careers as lawyers to help the least,
the lost, and the last.
" I the Lord have called you and given you power to
see that justice is done on earth. Through you I will
make a covenant to all peoples; through you I will bring a
light to all nations. You will open the eyes of the
blind and set free those who sit in dark prisons." Isiah
42:6-7
