The Center for Law & Religious Freedom (The Center), the advocacy ministry of Christian Legal Society, defends and advances our inalienable rights to life and religious liberty through the legal system.

Founded in 1975, The Center is the oldest Christian religious liberty advocacy ministry in the United States and is a respected voice for religious liberty before the Supreme Court, Congress, and the Executive Branch.

The Center is also the primary advocate of religious liberty on high school and college campuses, defending thousands of students’ right to meet on campus for religious speech. Our clients include religious student groups, Christ-centered educational institutions, faith-based social service providers, and pro-life health care providers. The Center Director, attorney Kim Colby, is a nationally respected expert on religious liberty law.
