I recommend that Christian law students and lawyers should read my professor of law and apologetics books, "Law Above the Law" and "Law and Gospel: A Lawyer's Quest." The second is a series of studies that that demonstrates that how the branches of law all come from the Scriptures.
@@zxpalpha8664 interesting that’s not the moniker by which you live or at the very least exist. You have absolutely no evidence that your foot will land when you take a step yet you do so anyway… FAITH.
@@zxpalpha8664 Not only do I have proof the very fact that I stand before you is proof. The very fact they YOU stand before me is proof. You had faith that you would wake up this morning just by the simple fact that you planned for proceedings the day, weeks, or months before. You believed and had faith in that you would be around for today by even going to sleep.
God has plans for each one of us. God also gives different gifts for us to live our life, to work and serve one another! I really like your comments on glorifying God through your work. Beautiful! 🙏
If only I had found this video years ago! I have been praying and praying about this very thing for so long, and God just kept leading me to law school. I am going into my senior year of undergrad and taking the LSAT this summer, and I feel more confident about this decision. It’s so nice to find an attorney who is following the Lord in such a difficult career and in such a large city. So thankful I found your video!
Hi, thank you for this. It has made me feel quite better. This might be long but I just want to share. I have always been a Christian most of my life. But I was never so devoted. I wasn't a church goer. I didn't read the Bible and of course, spread the gospel. I am only 16 years old and I started my journey with God about 3 months ago. I started reading and devotions. And while I was doing my devotions for today, I started crying. I was reading Exodus 21-24 and it was about the commandments and laws, etc. And that reminded me of my dream of being a lawyer. For about a year now, I was so sure that I want to be one. But just a few days ago, 2 of my teachers told me that Law is one of the worst profession and that lawyers always lies, yada yada yada. And that affected me because just as when my relationship with the Lord is improving, I really had to dream of being someone who'd do those kinds of things. I was so confuse if I should still dream of being one and if time comes, should I still go to law school? Nonetheless, thank you for this. It cleared up my mind even just a bit. I'd definitely read that book in the future :)
Hi!! I just wanna say keep seeking God ! Its good to develop and explore what is true based on your firm exploration!! But Jesus is so reallll !! Just reach out ask for his help!! Because He understands
Thank you for sharing this video. I am currently pursuing my Associate degree along with being dual enrolled at a local University where I plan on obtaining my Bachelor degree. The University has already informed me that I have an opportunity to enroll at their Law School. I am strongly considering applying to the Law School after completing an amount of my Bachelor degree course work. This video has truly inspired me that I can be a Christian and become a successful Lawyer. God Bless you.
Thanks for this video, I was looking for something like that. I am in my final year of law school and that has been my question and prayer for the past few months. :)
My dad studied law but havent finish it, he almost graduate And he's a Christian, he told me how its sinful like he told me abt lying. And sometimes I wonder that if my dad is a licensed lawyer our souls is in danger. He's a socialite and very argiementative, have many connections he maybe will work in some politics or do some dark stuffs that is not good in God's eye He's that type of lawyer probab So I thank God But Ive been having desires lately to be lawyer
I’m Christian and I love your channel. We should feel proud of being Christian not shame. You are great👍 I agree what you said,all we do is glorify our Lord not ourselves.
This was awesome Brittany! Thank you for those key reminders and for sharing this book! Definitely some words of wisdom! :) May God bless you and keep you in good health!
Thank you for sharing!! This was a great refresher and an encouragement to keep walking with the Lord and pursuing to be his hands and feet in the field of law. 😊
The way I see it is it depends who you love Jesus or money I like to draw I could be a tattoo artist and make a ton of money but I wouldn't be glorifying Jesus in any way so I don't do it but that is for everyone to decide or themselves
Why is this even an issue to discuss? The terms "justice"'; "do justly" appear at least 276 times in the Bible. In the OT, one of the key roles of priests is to resolve dispute among God's people, according to how laws from the Lord was interpreted. i.e. Priests were acting as lawyers and judges. They have to be trained in the law. In the NT Paul invoked Roman laws at his time for the purpose of proclaiming the gospel. Today, how can be "do justly" if we don't study law?

Thanks for your insight! So you are saying that as Christians we shouldn't go to court but instead should settle things within the church or by pastors that oversee the church?
Brittany Tran of course not! I am saying that studying law and fighting for justice is a core element of Christianity. Please note that I am a lawyer and a seminary graduate.
Got it, sorry I was a little unclear what point you were trying to make in your initial comment and then your response to J L. I think the concern comes from representing someone that is guilty of a crime or has done something that you do not condone.
@@BrittanyTran I don't even believe representing someone that is guilty should be a concern! There are two core tenants in our legal system: Innocent until proven guilty and accuser has the burden of proof. As a lawyer, it is our ethical duty to uphold these two tenants. In fact, these tenants have roots from the Bible! (see this blog for a discussion drjimmann.com/2018/10/04/bible-even-points-to-idea-of-innocent-until-proven-guilty/) It is also ethical to uphold the principle to "rather to let a guilty one go free, instead of wrongfully convict an innocent one" You may be too young to remember the OJ Simpson case. Do I believe that he committed murder? Absolutely! But do I believe he should be found not guilty? Again absolutely! This is because the defense was able to raise "reasonable doubt" in the evidences. Fast forward a few years. In the late 90s the LAPD was found to have planted evidences causing innocent people to be convicted. This proved that Simpsons lawyers were right when they challenge the evidence. I believe God's justice will apply to every individual. But when we live in a society, upholding the core tenants for justice is even more critical than convicting individual criminals. '
I’m not that good at anything. I want to be a lawyer but I don’t want to do anything that doesn’t Glorify God and I don’t want God to be dis pleased with me
What would you do if within the bounds of your job you are ordered to take on a case the directly goes against your Christian beliefs? Such as defending planned parenthood in litigation or say the gay wedding cake trial that happened a couple years back? Would you just quit your job or do you justify separating your job from your Christian faith in cases like that?
hmm I think if it was something that went against my beliefs, I would tell my supervisor or manager that I did not feel comfortable representing a client in such a case.
girl i became a believer after2L year. and I get these thoughts like i need to work from home, not be out in an office with men, etc... I dont understand if this is God or satan. i am so confused
Hmm that's hard to discern, but I think there are options to work from home if you want it's just not as common for lawyers. Perhaps continue to pray about it and God will open doors for you which may be in an office.
that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. Titus 2:4-5 NKJV bible.com/bible/114/tit.2.4-5.NKJV
Being a lawyer is not necessarily being true as any other Job. Lawyers construe the truth or the lie for truth. That's a reality. As you mentioned sometimes you have to defend a murderer. How can a lawyer Glorify God by covering the sins of one and at the same time oppressing the victims that have already suffered the loss by the murderer? Is it not in direct conflict with the ethics of Christianity?
JESUS CHRIST is LORD! we must be born again, turning from our sins with a penitent, repentant heart and believing upon the LORD Jesus Christ and His Life, death, and resurrection.
I feel like u Christians are kind of pushy. For example when I’m at the mall there’s this Korean Christian lady and her daughters that keeps approaching me and pressuring me to convert over to her faith and it’s starting to feel very awkward and annoying.
You Christians harass and tell non Christian’s that they’re going to burn in hell for not converting to Christianity but in reality it’s you Christian’s who are going to find out on judgement day that it was u guys who were wrong for making a human being like Jesus into a god
@jayjayeffron9249 you Christian’s harass and tell non-Christians that they’re going to burn in hell for not converting to Christianity when the truth is that it’s you Christians who will find out on judgement day that it was you guys who were wrong for making a human being like Jesus into a god
