2025 CLF National Conference Report
Law school initially felt like a foreign land where I had no roadmap, no support, and no connections. The feeling of being “other” as I did not conform to the lifestyle and beliefs held by my peers was very intrinsic until I was able to connect to other Christians in law through CLF. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of attending numerous CLF conferences and the CLI, where I have found mentorship from Christian lawyers and formed meaningful connections with other Christians in law from across Canada. These national events have truly been a homecoming; each time, I am welcomed with open arms and leave with a true sense of belonging, knowing that God has a plan for me in this field and that I am not alone as I journey in this career.
