The below quoted paragraph was taken from the "About us" link on the CLF website.

"Christian Legal Fellowship (CLF) is a national not-for-profit, charitable organization founded in 1978 out of the conviction that the vocation of law is a calling from God. With God's calling comes the responsibility and stewardship of integrating Christian faith and law. As Christian lawyers, law students, legal professionals and interested friends, we recognize the privilege and responsibility of joining together as a national voice to affirm our Christian convictions."

In the past, the CLSA has received funding and other invaluable resources from the CLF.  Student ministry is a big priority for the CLF, and the CLF hosts a National Student Conference each year at a different law school.   Indeed, the CLSA worked closely with CLF last year to host the third annual CLF National Student Conference at UBC this past February.  Please click on the "National Student Conferences" link for more information!

"There are certain convictions which compose the ethos of the Grad Christian Union. We have a tradition at UBC, but our ideas are constantly under revision in order to meet the needs of graduate students. Thus we will continue some proven efforts and add some new dimensions this year.
In general, we want to create a lively discourse about Christianity and academic life. Our aspiration is that of a warm and friendly community of young scholars whereby individuals from different disciplines stimulate, encourage and challenge each other in both thought and action. The discussions will attempt to relate faith to academic and personal questions in a culturally and socially relevant fashion. What occurs when you drop your discipleship document onto your academic file? We want to bring the discourse of the Biblical text into creative tension with the discourse of academic life at UBC, in order to produce a tangible engagement. "
