About Howard Law Christian Legal Society
Based at Howard University School of Law in Washington, DC, the Howard Law Christian Legal Society represents a unique intersection of faith, education, and professional responsibility. This student-led organization is rooted in the conviction that Christian principles and legal practice can work together to create meaningful change in communities and society at large.
The mission of the Christian Legal Society chapter at Howard Law reflects a deep commitment to spiritual growth and communal service. Members gather regularly to strengthen their Christian walk, support one another through the rigorous demands of legal education, and explore how their faith can inform their future work as attorneys. The organization operates with a non-denominational approach, welcoming students from diverse faith backgrounds who share a common desire to serve Christ while pursuing legal careers.
Howard University School of Law itself has a storied history of producing leaders committed to advancing justice and defending the rights of marginalized communities. The Christian Legal Society embodies this institutional mission by fostering lawyers who understand their professional obligations extend beyond billable hours to include service to their communities and fidelity to their values. Located in Washington, DC, the organization connects law students with opportunities to live out their faith through service projects and community engagement.
The organization's leadership, including President Reginald Whitaker and Vice-President Salah Harrell, prioritize creating an inclusive space where students can develop both professionally and spiritually. By emphasizing fellowship, study, and service grounded in Christian principles, the Howard Law Christian Legal Society prepares the next generation of attorneys to be not only skilled legal professionals but also compassionate advocates for justice in the Washington, DC area and beyond.
