In a gathering sponsored by the Orange County Chapter of the J. Reuben Clark Law Society, Bill Atkin, associate general counsel over Church international legal affairs, spoke on the challenges to religious liberty and the Church. Atkin related the calling of the Church's first general counsel, Franklin S. Richards, by President Brigham Young, and discussed current attempts to expand religious freedom throughout the world. Following the counsel of President Hinckley, Atkin encouraged all LDS lawyers to apply his or her legal training and experience to advance the Lord's work.
