A Discipleship Guide for CLS Lawyers


Video Discussion Prompts

Episode One

Steve Hinkle, an InterVarsity staffer at Duke, mentions two or three reasons that Christian students should gather on campus. The recommended discussion focuses on the “shaping influence of the American law school,” the task of keeping God at the center of one’s vision of lawyering, and the courage necessary to engage our peers in the legal academy.

Episode Two

Rich Sicard, an InterVarsity staffer for the last decade at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, asks about the doubts that law students have when we begin to ask ourselves, “What I am doing here?” Have you ever wondered how you got yourself in this mess and if God really wants you in law school or law practice? Here’s an opportunity to discuss it with your classmates and consider some of the provocative questions that Rich raises, such as “Is the law big enough for you?” and “Will you practice law in heaven?”
