Training for the future

A $750,000 challenge grant from ministry friends allows you to help train outstanding Christian law students to defend religious liberty.

In eight years, 602 law students have participated in the Blackstone Legal Fellowship, receiving intensive training in Christian worldview principles and how they apply to the study and interpretation of law. In addition, they receive hands-on experience working with ADF's legal and public policy allies. And what a difference it has made.

Blackstone Fellows have gone on to clerk for judges, edit law journals, participate as allied attorneys, and serve as members of our own ADF litigation team.

Recognizing the need for Blackstone, several ministry friends have stepped forward with a $750,000 challenge grant. These committed friends recognize the potential for Blackstone participants to transform the legal system of America, and they are determined to expand its influence today! Their gift will combine with yours to help us underwrite the entire 2008 Blackstone program.


This critical program equips young men and women to lead the ongoing battle for religious freedom - litigating important cases, serving in government agencies, and making influential rulings from the bench. But this training can only continue - and grow! - through your prayers and financial support.

Your gift to this program, combined with the $750,000 challenge grant, can accomplish so much. Please click here to make your generous donation today.
