Convening, equipping, and encouraging
Christian legal practitioners.

 

Our Vision

The Legal Vocation Fellowship (LVF) focuses on Christian formation and discipleship of early-career attorneys. This practically-oriented program is led by Christian law faculty and senior practitioners. LVF is a 15-month program for early-career attorneys seeking to integrate their Christian faith into the practice of law. We focus on Christian practitioners in law and proximate institutions who desire to restore the social fabric for love of neighbor and faithfulness to God. Our fellows currently draw from eight cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Minneapolis, New York City, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C.

 
 
 
 
 

LVF’s Characteristics:

  • Our mission is to cultivate a community of attorneys committed to growing in spiritual maturity and discernment, encouraging one another in their faith and vocation, being a faithful presence in the legal profession, and pursuing the flourishing of society for the sake of the Kingdom.

    For that reason, we ask that fellows, mentors, faculty, and speakers have a commitment to LVF’s values, posses a mature Christian faith, and be active participants in a community that affirms the Apostles' Creed. We affirm the Apostles’ Creed and are otherwise ecumenical.

  • We are committed to building a diverse cohort of fellows along with cultivating a diverse panel of local mentors, national faculty, and speakers. The program is relationally oriented, and will wrestle with opportunities, tensions, and challenges that Christians confront in the practice of law. As such, the program is also intentionally nonpartisan to encourage discussion amongst differences.

  • We develop cohorts spanning eight regions through fellows, mentors, faculty, speakers, donors, and alumni.

    As each region grows over time, there will be opportunities for alumni from different cohort cycles to interact locally, including through regional alumni gatherings. Additionally, each LVF cycle will continue to grow a national network of Christian lawyers dedicated to improving the practice of law.
