The Christian Legal Society is a non-profit, non-denominational organization of Christianlawyers, judges, law professors, and law students whose members profess to follow the commandment of Jesus to "do justice with the love of God." (Luke 11:42; Matthew 23:23.) The organization, which is based in the United States, was founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1961 by four lawyers who had met at a convention of the American Bar Association in 1959 to pray together. It has since grown to include 90 attorney chapters, 165 law school chapters, and four unincorporated ministry divisions.
