  Christian Legal Society at Campbell Law Welcomes Fred Potter

    

 

RALEIGH, N.C. – On September 28, the Campbell Law chapter of the Christian Legal Society  (CLS) welcomed Fred Potter, the Executive Director of the Christian Legal Society. The CLS is a 50-year old nondenominational organization that includes lawyers, judges, law professors and law students whose purpose is to 'do justice with the love of God.' CLS is the largest network of Christian lawyers in the world influencing about 12,000 attorneys annually. The organization's Law Student Ministries support over 150 student chapters at law schools nationwide.

 
Mr. Potter’s presentation, titled ‘What’s That in Your Hand?’, was based on the call to Moses. He urged us all to question what God has put in our hands and examine what is there. “We shouldn’t be surprised to find out short comings coming back to us as strengths,” he said.
 
“The law is an instrument of justice, but it is not justice,” said Potter. “I commend Campbell for pushing against the trend that law is just a balance of power and a re-allocation of resources.” He went on to say, “Coming out of Campbell Law School you will be better prepared that 90 percent of others, there is no doubt in my mind. But, if you employ that with arrogance, you will be in complete darkness.”
