Christian Legal Society seeks to encourage Christian law students to reach out to their campuses and communities with the love of Christ. After all, if we see our legal gifts as given to us for the benefit of others, one of our critical tasks will be identifying those "others" that might benefit from what we have.
One of the primary means of loving our campus is to proclaim truth as it applies to law and legal institutions. Inviting speakers, hosting panels, and sponsoring programs that focus on true justice, the rule of law, or the source of freedom are great ways to reach your campus with the good news of Christ.
You could raise funds for the family of a classmate or colleague in need.
Your group should think globally, too. It is no accident that attorneys and law students are at the forefront of justice ministries around the world, from anti-human-trafficking efforts, to anti-slavery missions and other global justice initiatives.
Christian Legal Society has a vision to see lawyers and law students transformed as they seek to serve Christ in and through ordinary law practice and study. This mission is carried out by encouraging lawyers and law students to gather, to grow spiritually, to think faithfully about their vocations, and to serve well with their legal gifts.
