Christian Pre-Law Conference 2006
March 2-5, 2006

Concept

Panelists representing a variety of Christian colleges and universities will take part in the program. A healthy exchange of ideas is encouraged. Advisors are welcome to actively participate in the discussion.

About the Conference

The Christian Pre-Law Conference of 2006 provides an opportunity for Christian advisors to gather together and reflect on how they might best train future lawyers for Christ. Advisors will benefit from the experience of current pre-law advisors, law faculty and law school staff, as together we examine how to effectively equip and encourage future Christian lawyers, regardless of which law school they choose to attend. Students will benefit from the opportunity to meet and connect with other Christian pre-law students from across the country.

Regent Law School and Ave Maria School of Law desire to support Christian pre-law advisors who prepare students, spiritually and intellectually, to become faithful Christian lawyers. As more and more Americans reject morality and faith as the basis of right conduct, Christians must step up as cultural, religious, political and business leaders. We want to do everything we can to support pre-law advisors as they nurture the gifts and talents of individuals who will be bold lawyers for Christ. The schools recognize the nationwide need for lawyers who care about righteousness, justice and truth. We want to encourage those who train and advise pre-law students and law students at universities and law schools across the country.
