Blackstone Legal Fellowship Testimonials
Law students who completed the Blackstone Legal Fellowship law internship speak out about this unique program of legal training, spiritual formation, and Christian worldview education:
“I was impressed with ADF and the Blackstone Legal Fellowship from the moment I arrived. I was certainly challenged by the sessions. I received a boost of confidence that I am right where I need to be. I have longed all of my life to be a part of a proactive group of people who share my convictions and drive. I am so grateful that I was selected to stand among the incredible group of people in the program. I want to give it back, to God, to my family, to my church, and to my country. I truly feel that I now have the tools to do it.”
“I have appreciated the strong reminder that ours is the superior worldview. It is difficult and sometimes intimidating to stand as a Christian in the world, especially given the state of the church and theology today, and believe that certain aspects of the orthodox Christian worldview are objectively true.”
“The teachings were life-changing. I hadn’t realized how relativism had crept into my paradigm. How the thinking of this world had made me blasé where I should be passionately enraged. [Blackstone] informed me, equipped me, and emboldened me to live a life serving God as an attorney-warrior.”
“The primary thing I’ve learned with the Blackstone Legal Fellowship is the concept that there is an absolute right and wrong. The ‘gray areas’ that society would like me to believe exist are really just attempts to move me in the wrong direction.”
“One of the most important things I learned during my time with Blackstone is that I am NOT alone. At my school I am one of the few Christians. The past year has been extremely difficult in that I had no accountability and nowhere to turn with questions.”
