The Founding Freedoms Law Center is proud to host the 2nd annual Virginia Conference for Christian Attorneys.

This exciting, statewide event brings Christian attorneys together from across the Commonwealth. With numerous prominent speakers offering expert legal insight and faith-based encouragement, this gathering will challenge you to live out your calling with boldness and integrity while also obtaining four to six hours of Virginia CLE (including ethics) credit.

At present, we are excited to announce that Michael Farris and last year’s roundtable of former Virginia Attorneys General (Mark Earley, Sr., Ken Cuccinelli, Richard Cullen & William Mims) have committed to return to the Conference and again offer their wisdom from their long years of service and experience. Stay tuned for additional information about featured speakers.
