CLS' Legal Aid Program is a national public ministry providing advice and limited assistance for many of the legal and spiritual needs of the poor, in cooperation with Christian churches and faith-based social service providers. We encourage and train Christian volunteer lawyers and other legal professionals to provide basic legal and spiritual counseling, to suggest Biblical conflict resolution, and to organize and conduct quality local legal aid programs. They address family conflict problems, the wrongful denial of jobs, housing, medical or other benefits, and certain minor criminal problems.

Why Christian Legal Aid?
Scripture teaches it and Jesus Christ
commands it to be done by His followers.
(Psalms 82: 3,4; Prov 29:7,
31:8-9; Matt 23:23, 25:31-40; Luke 4:18-19)
