Christian Legal Society
About the Christian Legal Society
The Christian Legal Society (CLS) is a national organization of lawyers and law students who share a common faith in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The Law Student Ministries of CLS seeks to encourage students in spiritual formation, compassionate outreach, and integration of faith and learning--to help students understand law as a Christian calling.
Few experiences in life can be as hazardous to a Christian's faith as studying for three or more years at an American law school. Surrounded by academic world views that deny the transcendent and by a professional milieu that stresses worldly "wisdom," "might," and "wealth" rather than knowing God, the Christian law student who fails to zealously guard his or her faith will be worn down and succumb to beliefs, outlooks, and attitudes that are irreconcilable with Christianity. Because law school is the formative period in an attorney's life, setting patterns and habits that will long endure, it is imperative that Christian law students seek out one another for fellowship, encouragement, and accountability.
The USC Chapter of the Christian Legal Society seeks to supplement student involvement in a local church by conducting weekly lunch meetings as well as several service projects throughout the school year. The weekly meetings include Christian attorneys from both large firms and solo practices in the local area who share their experiences and insights regarding Christianity in the legal profession.
