Allied Attorneys Demonstrate Essence Of What “Alliance” Is All About
Anyone who reads ADF materials for very long soon comes upon the phrase "allied attorney." It's a term we use to describe one of the hundreds of committed Christian lawyers who – while not on our fulltime ADF staff – ascribe to our Statement of Faith and demonstrably share our point of view on the key issues of life, family, and religious freedom. What's more, they are willing to fight for these ideals in the courtroom.
