FAITH AND FREEDOM ALLIANCE
Legal Academy
Faith and Freedom Alliance is a national,
proactive, faith-based legal advocacy organization established
to:
- Train Canadian lawyers to litigate in
constitutional law and decisively win cases involving religious
freedom and the issues of life and family embraced by it.
- Create and facilitate a proactive, long-term
legal strategy to advance key cases that have the potential
to contribute to the legal protection of religious freedom.
- Facilitate the funding of intervention
and litigation in important constitutional and precedent-setting
cases.
A training session will be held in Ottawa,
May 29 - June 2, 2004, for interested lawyers.
All expenses of the candidate - travel, hotel,
most meals, etc. - will be covered by the Faith and Freedom
Alliance. In return, the candidate must commit himself/herself
to providing 300 hours pro bono (free) legal services
over a three-year period. This contribution could include
litigation, research, writing, legal service to churches and
to Christian charities, rendering legal opinions to legislative
bodies, etc.
The training academy will feature some of
the nation's top legal experts who will instruct in Canadian
constitutional matters in the area of pro-life, family advocacy
and various Charter issues. Not only will attendees learn
from the best, but they will leave knowing a network of lawyers
who will be glad to assist them in the future.
