Christian Lawyers in Pakistan

When a Christian family in Pakistan needs a lawyer, they need one who understands both the law and the pressure they live under. The advocates of Christian Lawyers Alliance Pakistan (CLAP) practise before the lower courts, the Lahore High Court and, through senior counsel, the Supreme Court. We are led by Founding Patron in Chief Advocate Soba Sorya, at the bar since 1982.

Defending rights with integrity and faith

We take the cases others avoid: blasphemy accusations, abductions and forced conversions, church and graveyard land disputes, bonded labour, and false criminal cases brought to settle scores. We also handle the everyday legal needs of Christian families: marriage, divorce, custody, inheritance, property and employment.

A word from our Founding Patron in Chief
I have stood in Pakistan's courts since 1982. I founded this Alliance so that the persecuted would always have a lawyer who fears God more than men.
A false blasphemy accusation is a death sentence before a trial. Our duty is to reach the accused before the mob does.
When a Christian girl is taken, the first hours decide everything. Register the FIR, gather her school certificate, and call us.
Justice for the Christian minority is not charity. It is the promise of Pakistan's Constitution, and we hold the state to it.
Every young Christian lawyer we train is a courtroom the persecuted will never face alone.
