Christian Legal Society ("CLS") seeks to:
- Serve as a national grassroots network of lawyers and law students, committed to proclaiming, loving and serving Jesus Christ through all that its members do and say in the practice of law.
- Avocate biblical conflict reconciliation, public justice, religious freedom and the sanctity of human life.
- Develop strategic networks for the common good with organizations on the political left and right; with evangelical, fundamentalist and mainline denominations; and with key law professors, church-state experts, and national “opinion makers.”
