10 REASONS WHY A STUDENT SHOULD JOIN CHRISTIAN LEGAL SOCIETY (“CLS”)

To honor the Lord in law school by associating publicly with a national grassroots network of Christian lawyers and law students, committed to proclaiming, loving and serving Jesus Christ, through all we do and say in the practice of law, and advocating biblical conflict reconciliation, public justice, religious freedom and the sanctity of human life.

To associate with a Christian legal community committed to a common confession of faith whose members are available to teach the student what it means to submit every aspect of their calling in the legal profession to Christ.

To better avail yourself of Law Student Ministries’ (LSM) staff and resources to establish a student group committed to glorifying God through spiritual development and campus outreach.

To receive spiritual and professional encouragement from the CLS and LSM staffs and from a vast network of CLS attorneys, law professors, judges and fellow students.

To cultivate invaluable contacts-judges, senior partners, practicing attorneys, politicians, and government employees-who can assist you with finding summer internships and job prospects upon graduation.

To grow in your faith through CLS’s various publications and tapes such as The Christian Lawyer, The Christian Lawyer Digest, the newsletter Briefly, the Defender, Bible studies tailored for Christian attorneys and law students, and pamphlets and training materials on religious liberty and other important social and legal issues.

To qualify for significant discounts on Christian legal publications stocked by CLS, including Bible studies relevant to integrating faith and the practice of law.

To receive the CLS Resource Index, a listing of helpful books and tools designed to encourage personal and chapter growth and to have available to your CLS affiliated student chapter a free copy of the CLS National Directory, the only comprehensive listing of Christian attorneys by state and specialty.

To learn about God’s mighty actions in the legal profession by attending, at significant savings, the CLS National Conference, an event described by numerous law students over the years as “life changing.” Annual regional conferences are also available for students in many parts of the country.
