Since its beginning in 1975, the Center for Law & Religious Freedom has been a passionate, yet measured, voice for religious freedom in the courts, the legislatures, and the Executive Branch.
Christian Legal Society established the Center at the urging of Christopher Hall and Skeeter Ellis, who both saw the need for Christian attorneys to be better equipped to defend our religious freedoms, which are threatened by an increasingly secularized society. Through the years, the Center has not only provided appellate advocacy, but also has provided public education and legislative counsel in Congress and various state legislatures. Since 1996, Center attorneys have also provided direct trial court and administrative agency representation for persons or organizations whose religious freedoms are at stake.
“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
