Defending Religious Freedom & Life

The Center for Law & Religious Freedom has defended and advanced the inalienable rights of religious freedom and life for all Americans for 50 years.

Equipping Law Students

Most law schools today have changed their view on preparing the next generation of attorneys from one rooted in the rich intellectual history of faith and law, to skill-based social engineering. CLS has the largest reach of any organization to more than 120 campuses to equip and inspire Christian students to re-integrate faith into the practice of law.
