New Group Annual Membership Rates

You asked. We delivered!

Introducing New Standardized Group Annual Membership Rates

Christian Legal Society (CLS) is making a concerted effort to build and maintain community relationships with our community of Christian attorneys. As part of that effort, CLS has created our new group membership rates. We believe this will be a benefit to organizations with multiple CLS members by providing lower membership dues, lower registration costs for the annual CLS national conference, and much more! Plus, it will keep your entire community informed of CLS’ latest events, initiative, and publications.
