Chicago-Kent Christian Legal Society

About Chicago-Kent Christian Legal Society

Rooted in the Chicago, IL campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology's Chicago-Kent College of Law, the Chicago-Kent Christian Legal Society brings together law students who recognize the importance of faith-based perspectives in legal practice and education. This student organization serves as a community hub for individuals committed to exploring how Christian values can inform and guide their work within the legal profession. By fostering meaningful relationships among students with shared convictions, the group creates a supportive network that extends beyond the classroom.

The organization's mission centers on building fellowship among law students while encouraging thoughtful dialogue about justice, ethics, and moral responsibility in the practice of law. Based in Chicago, the Christian Legal Society provides its members with opportunities to engage in community service, attend educational events, and develop professional relationships with peers who share similar values. The group recognizes that legal practice is not merely a technical profession but one that carries profound responsibility to serve society with integrity and compassion.

As Chicago-Kent's student organizations continue to evolve and grow, the Christian Legal Society remains committed to supporting its members' personal and professional development. The organization's transition to the new 312 Community Hubs platform in Fall 2025 reflects the law school's dedication to enhancing student engagement and community building. For law students in Chicago seeking a faith-centered community within their legal education journey, the Chicago-Kent Christian Legal Society offers meaningful connection, shared purpose, and the opportunity to explore how Christian principles can shape a fulfilling legal career dedicated to justice and service.
