About Saint Thomas More Society of San Francisco, California

Founded in 1937, the Saint Thomas More Society of San Francisco is the oldest fellowship of Catholic lawyers and judges in the West. The Society is named for the 16th century jurist, judge, and diplomat who became the first layman to serve as Lord Chancellor of England, the crown’s chief minister as well as its highest judicial officer.

These last words of St. Thomas More have inspired Catholic lawyers for generations to affirm this high calling through faithful instruction and example. Membership in the St. Thomas More Society of San Francisco, along with judges, lawyers, public servants, and officials of all faiths provides the best path toward this end. Together we ask God to bless, strengthen, and enlighten all servants of the law, and all people of faith, so that in solidarity and mutual trust we may more charitably achieve justice and freedom for society. St. Thomas More has been immortalized as a “man for all seasons” on the strengths of his prolific life and professional character, acknowledged as “Lawyer of the Millennium,” and canonized for his unfailing devotion. Membership will guarantee access to this wonderful legacy of professional enhancement and collegial fervor. The St. Thomas More Society of San Francisco is an indispensable voice in the Bay Area legal community and beyond whenever issues of public moment are analyzed and debated. Participation in the Society honors and sustains its many expressions of good service.
