Legal Academy
We are excited to again host Legal Academy as part of the ADF Summit, giving attendees exclusive access to additional speakers and deeper engagement with the broader ADF network. You are warmly invited to apply.
Legal Academy delivers world-class legal training grounded in unwavering Christian principles. You’ll engage with seasoned faculty, gain specific resources and opportunities to engage in ADF-related issues, and join in inspiring daily worship and devotions. Whatever your area of practice, Legal Academy will equip you to effectively advocate for religious liberty, free speech, the sanctity of life, marriage and family, and parental rights. We anticipate offering about 6-8 hours of CLE credit this year.
The Academy will also prepare you to integrate your faith with your work and, as an ADF Allied Attorney, connect you with outstanding like-minded attorneys from around the United States who make up an ever-growing network of attorneys shaping our legal culture to protect our fundamental freedoms for the next generation.
This year, to help defray a portion of the costs of CLE, lodging, and scheduled meals, a registration fee will apply for those selected to attend:
- Attendee only: $700
- Attendee & spouse: $1,000
When accepted to attend the Legal Academy at the ADF Summit, you also become an ADF Allied Attorney. The Legal Academy is currently only available to attorneys practicing and residing in the United States.

Testimonial
“I am very grateful for the training and resources that ADF has poured into me over the years, so that I can be of assistance to our brothers and sisters in Christ and help preserve the civil liberties we have been blessed with. When I attended my first National Litigation Seminar back in 2010, I had been moved to be a part of the worldview battles I could see occurring at that time. ADF training gave me the confidence to get involved in traditional ADF areas of practice and to stand against government overreach.”
