Since its founding in 1961, Christian Legal Society (“CLS”) has grown to become the largest national non-denominational Christian membership organization of attorneys, judges, law professors, and law students. We are in over 1,100 cities, all 50 states and 28 foreign countries, working in association with thousands of supportive lay people some of whom are also associate members of CLS.

CLS’ mission is to be the national grassroots network of lawyers and law students committed to proclaiming, loving and serving Jesus Christ through all we do and say in the practice of law, particularly through CLS’ Membership Ministries.

CLS also advocates biblical conflict reconciliation and voluntary/low-fee legal assistance for the needy through its Public Ministries; defends religious freedom and the sanctity of innocent human life through its Center for Law and Religious Freedom; and offers the love, teachings and call of Jesus Christ to the more than 120,000 law students on America’s more than 180 law school campuses though CLS’ Law Student Ministries.

Whether you are an attorney, judge, law student, or a citizen we can help. We are here to serve you in the spirit of Jesus Christ.
