We are Canada's national association of Christian lawyers and law students.
As Christian legal professionals, we are heirs to a tradition of legal thought that bears on many of the most pressing questions facing our culture and profession. We also understand that the practice of law is a vocation: a calling from God. We believe it is our responsibility to work with others to pursue what justice requires in a free and democratic society.
On December 16, 2025, the Alberta Court of Appeal released its decision in Wirring v Law Society of Alberta. The Court unanimously affirmed that the Charter protects lawyers from being forced to “choose between following [their] religious convictions or practicing law”, and that state action compelling such a “choice” represents “a clear and significant infringement” of religious freedom, requiring demonstrable justification (para 94).
Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Christian Legal Fellowship celebrates the lives and contributions of persons with disabilities in Canada and around the world, who — along with every member of the human family — are all born free and equal in dignity and rights (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 1).
Christian Legal Fellowship is deeply troubled by the mounting legislative suppression of religion in Québec in the name of laïcité (secularism), now with the introduction of Bill 9. This proposed law generally bans “all religious practice” in certain public institutions like colleges and universities, and prohibits “collective religious practice” within any public parks or on public sidewalks and footpaths without prior municipal authorization.
