We're not just lawyers. We're Catholic lawyers. Law is our calling, and we bear faithful witness to the Catholic faith in the practice of law.
The Society's Prayer
O Mother of Good Counsel, intercede for us that the members of our Society might courageously and publicly live the Catholic faith ever more fully as we pursue justice, with charity, for those whom your Son has entrusted to us. Call upon the holy angels to shield us from the temptations and sins common to our profession. And ask your Son to bless our work, so that we may remain good and faithful servants of the law, but always servants of God first. AMEN.
Faith in Action
For even as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. James 2:26
Pro-Life Witness
We shared why the Society opposed Proposition 3, warning about the substance and consequences of this proposal entrenching a right to abortion in the Michigan Constitution.
Created Male and Female
We shared the Gospel and First Amendment jurisprudence with the Michigan Supreme Court while respectfully opposing a personal pronouns rule. See "WHO WE ARE" for more information and links to the Society's statements.
Defending Our Freedoms
In 2025, the Catholic Lawyers Society of Metropolitan Detroit successfully opposed proposed ethics rules that would have imposed a sweeping speech code on judges and lawyers alike, with the threat of professional sanctions for non-compliance. Read more here.
