It is difficult to fully understand your beliefs, values, and ethics until you step into

the world and live them out. Therefore, we believe that it is important to provide

students with opportunities to put their education and faith into action.

Pacific Justice Institute, the Orange County Rescue Mission, and the Christian Legal Aid

Office of Orange County. We are proud of our ability to offer these legal clinics and are

excited about the opportunities they provide for our students.

defense organization that specializes in defending religious freedom. The law school

hosts one of PJI’s Southern California offices on our campus. Trinity law students have

most significant issues in religious liberty today.
