SYL Journal
‘Justice Seeker’ is the student and young lawyers‘ journal of the LCF. The first edition was launched in November 2006, building on the success of its predecessor, ’The Young Christian Lawyer’.
It is our hope, without wishing to sound too pious, that God will use this journal to inspire, encourage, equip and challenge us to achieve our potential in Christ by fulfilling our calling as Christian lawyers.
It is very much intended to be our journal, so if you‘re a Christian law student or young lawyer and you’d like to write an article or conduct an interview or simply voice an opinion then please email Gay-Lynn Alldridge (gay-lynn@lawcf.or) or Phil Wren (phil@lawcf.org)
