Christian Legal Society - RU Law Newark

Christian Legal Society Rutgers Law School Newark Chapter (CLS) is a part of a nationwide fellowship of Christians committed to acting justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with their God (Micah 6:8).
Founded in 1961, CLS defends the religious liberties of all Americans in the legislatures and the courts and serves those most in need in our society through Christian Legal Aid.
By inspiring, encouraging, and equipping Christian lawyers and law students, both individually and in community, to proclaim, love, and serve Jesus Christ through the study and practice of law, the provision of legal assistance to the poor and needy, and the defense of the inalienable rights to life and religious freedom, we are fulfilling the command of Micah 6:8 and ensuring the next generation of Americans has the same opportunities to share their faith in community.
