REASONS WHY A STUDENT SHOULD JOIN CHRISTIAN LEGAL
SOCIETY 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. For membership information, including information about special group membership rates, contact one of the student officers.
