Start the LCF National Conference weekend with fellow students and young lawyers from across the UK.
Join us from 6.30pm on Friday 13 November at Buccleuch Free Church, Edinburgh, the venue for Saturday’s National Conference, for a dedicated Students & Young Lawyers programme exploring what it means to be a faithful witness for Christ at university, in training, and in the early years of legal practice.
Our speaker will be Katherine Trail, a Scots litigation lawyer and Notary Public working at the NHS Central Legal Office. Katherine is an accredited specialist in medical negligence (defender only) and is certified in trauma-informed law by the Law Society of Scotland.
Through Bible teaching, worship, practical discussion, and fellowship, we’ll think about how our faith shapes the way we study, work, relate to others and navigate the opportunities to speak about the gospel of Jesus Christ in the legal world.
Friday evening programme
6.30pm — Arrival & dinner
7.30pm — Welcome & worship
7.45pm — Talk & Growth Groups
9.00pm — Finish
Then, on Saturday, join the wider LCF family for the National Conference & AGM, featuring Andy Bannister of Solas as our main speaker. Together, we’ll consider how we can make the most of everyday opportunities to speak about Jesus, and how to respond faithfully to the questions and challenges we encounter in our professional lives.
