Christian Legal Society (CLS) is a non-profit, non-denominational organization of Christian lawyers, judges, law professors, and law students and friends whose members profess to follow the "commandment of Jesus" to "seek justice with the love of God." through four distinct and complimentary ministries:
1. Attorney Ministries: the fellowship and network of Christian attorneys who are members of CLS and gather in volunteer-run attorney chapters across the country.
2. Law Student Ministries: the ministry and network of Christian fellowships on law school campuses.
3. Center for Law & Religious Freedom: the advocacy arm of the Christian Legal Society, working to protect and defend religious freedom and the sanctity of human life through submitting amicus curiae legal briefs in cases, representing parties, and legislative work.
4. Christian Legal Aid: the ministry of CLS to those below the poverty line, through a network of independent Christian Legal Aid clinics across the country.
CLS publishes a bi-annual magazine called The Christian Lawyer, a scholarly journal called The Journal of Christian Legal Thought, CLS Bible Studies, and CLS E-Devotionals. Its former publications include the Quarterly, The Defender, and the Religious Freedom Reporter (all of which can be obtained at HeinOnline [1]).
CLS receives no government support for any of its programs or ministries and is supported by dues, donations and gifts.
The Christian Legal Society holds an annual convention in the United States and various regional conferences.
