Los Angeles Chapter
Los Angeles Chapter Welcome Message
The Los Angeles chapter of the Christian Legal Society is a recognized local chapter of the national Christian Legal Society which is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. If you're new to the website, we hope you'll take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with its contents.
Below we have information about our Board of Directors. Check out our Events subpage to see what's coming up (or what just happened). Our Resources subpage contains information about our law student ministry and our local legal aid ministry. Our Fellowship subpage reflects opportunities for fellowship through jobs, prayer, service and local events.
We hope you'll visit us often -- both at our Website and at our events. More than visit, we hope you'll stay -- by becoming a member of the Christian Legal Society. Information on joining can be obtained at the contact number below or by visiting www.clsnet.org.

Each chapter holds its own events for its members, such as weekly meetings or Bible studies. In addition, CLS Los Angeles holds one or more events throughout the year for all the chapters, allowing students from different schools to meet and fellowship with one another. Such events have included panel discussions with local attorneys on job search strategies and a beach bonfire.
