What We Offer
Our Pro Bono Program provides local priesthood leaders with a legal resource to assist needy members of the LDS Church and others consistent with LDS Church welfare principles. The program is not administered by the LDS Church but is a voluntary effort by members and friends of the J. Reuben Clark Law Society.
