Available on Amazon:  Kindle version of Natural Law for Lawyers

Available on Amazon:  On-demand paperback version of Natural Law for Lawyers.

This short book – the fastest-moving of all my books on natural law, but packed in very closely -- serves as part of the curriculum for The Blackstone Fellowship, an organization of Christian law students.  The Fellowship is an activity of the Alliance Defending Freedom, an association of lawyers who promote religious liberty, the sanctity of life, and the integrity of the family.  For more information about the Fellowship, click here.  But don't think that the book is just for lawyers and would-be lawyers:  It's written to be helpful to anyone interested in natural law.
