Liberty Counsel's Founder and President will both be present as the Christian Legal Society v. Martinez ("CLS") case is argued before the U.S. Supreme Court today. Liberty Counsel filed an amicus brief on behalf of Child Evangelism Fellowship and Lamb's Chapel, both of which won groundbreaking equal access cases before the United States Supreme Court.

CLS, a law school student group, was denied the same equal access afforded to all other student groups at the University of California Hastings College of the Law, a public law school in San Francisco. The law school required CLS to abandon its Christian beliefs and wanted to force the club to allow practicing homosexuals and others who openly engage in sex outside of marriage to become members and officers of the club. CLS refused.

In 2004 the Christian Legal Society required voting members to sign a statement committing to orthodox Christian beliefs, thus disallowing a student to vote if he or she "advocates or unrepentantly engages in sexual conduct outside of marriage between a man and a woman." The school refused to even recognize the group, claiming that its membership requirements violated the school's policy against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

CLS then filed suit. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the law school and CLS appealed. Pray that the Court will be persuaded to reverse this case and allow CLS to choose Christian leaders.
