Service and Outreach

Law Society chapters are encouraged to provide some kind of service each year.  Of primary importance is service provided by those with legal training. This might include service to those who, because of economic circumstances, are denied relief which access to legal process might provide. Service at the chapter level might also include working with other non-profit organizations, service through and to local bar associations and community outreach that defends religious liberty, sustains the rule of law and builds goodwill among legal practitioners.

Best practices also include keeping a written and visual record of service given and sharing that record with the international Service and Outreach Committee so that it can be further shared with Society members around the world.  Examples of service provided by Law Society chapters can be found here.

Under the direction of the Operating Committee and the Board of Directors, the Service and Outreach Committee has responsibility for the following areas of emphasis within the Law Society:

1. Assist chapters and chapter members in providing service within their local communities; Committee members assigned to each region and area are listed under the Committee Members heading above.
2. Help chapters and chapter members join forces with other like-minded individuals and groups to educate, inform and remind lawyers and others of the critical importance of religious liberty to all free societies.
3. Assist with local, national and international outreach to other service organizations and persons and organizations of influence throughout the world.
4. Identify and recognize individuals or groups whose service to fellowman exemplifies the principles and ideals of the Law Society;
5. Nominate individuals or groups for the prestigious Franklin S. Richards Award.
