2018 CLF National Law Student Conference

The CLF National Student Conference is a fantastic way to network, form lasting friendships, be encouraged, fellowship, and discover how faith and law connect. We hope you can join us!

This year's CLF National Student Conference theme is Quaecumque vera ‐ “whatsoever things are true.”

Sponsorships

Limited sponsorship funds may be available for students who are members of Christian Legal Fellowship (you can apply for membership here).

Sponsorships may be available to partially subsidize registration, travel, and/or accommodations for qualifying students with financial need. All sponsorship funds will be allocated at the sole discretion of Christian Legal Fellowship.

If you are a student member of CLF and would like to apply for sponsorship, please send us an email at info@christianlegalfellowship.org.

Accommodations

Some billets will be available in Edmonton for students. Billeting simply means that students will be offered a place to stay in someone's home. During the registration process, you will be able to indicate whether you are in need of accommodations and, if you are local, if you can offer accommodations to students.

Outside of billeting coordinated by CLF, you are free to secure your own accommodations in Edmonton.

Take a look at our updated tentative schedule here.
