Christian attorneys need to have a higher standard of practice which makes them shining examples of what it means to be Christlike in a world that is increasingly secular. Next, there should be a clarion call from Christian attorneys for legal reform. Laws and principles that reinforced the values of America's founders based on natural law standards, have been radically reinterpreted or revised since the 1960s, and as a result the prevailing worldview of individuals, families, the community and the profession have been reconfigured. The solution, according to Colson, is to remember that reformation begins and ends in law, as law constrains actions of individuals in the interest of public safety and standards of conduct. The moral aspirations and expectations underlying the law infiltrate society and serve as a basis for social change.
Law begins by setting norms of conduct and concludes by teaching morality and values.
A Christian law school, such as Trinity, has a unique opportunity to engage and impact the culture through the legal system by training lawyers to use their skills and abilities with an underlying Christian worldview. In short, being Christian attorneys means that we are called to a profession in which we can create opportunities to promote justice and mercy. Christian attorneys can make a difference in resolving problems, bringing healing and by involving themselves in the protection of Christians here and abroad. Believers have an opportunity to provide a perspective based on the Christian worldview which includes the belief that history has a purpose and moves in a linear fashion under the direction of God's hand. As a result, Christian attorneys have an obligation to be stewards of the legal system and provide justice for all.
