CLS Channels Legal Expertise for Positive Impact
The Catholic Lawyers Society Kuala Lumpur (CLS) plays a significant role in enriching the Catholic community by channeling its members time, talents and expertise to several good causes.
Speaking Engagements
Advocating Social Justice and Peace
The Catholic Lawyers Society Kuala Lumpur (CLS) sends its volunteer members to speaking engagements as one of its good causes for the community.
Presenters speak on issues related to social justice and peace from the Catholic Church’s perspective and primarily directed to a Catholic audience.
The presenters themselves are professional lawyers and work in legal firms or run their own practice.
How To Request A Speaker
Due to an increased interest in CLS’s activities and limited availability of volunteer members, speaking engagements are reviewed for maximum benefit to selected communities.
CLS encourages requests from national, regional and international conferences, schools, institutions, universities and community groups on social justice in line with the Catholic Church’s teachings.
Please submit your request 4-8 weeks prior to the date of the event.
