Christian Association of Leadership and Law (CALL) City-Wide Network - Nemo & Judge Parker

What happens when you connect seasoned legal practitioners with the next generation of law students? In this conversation, Judge Gerald Parker (Montgomery County Common Pleas Court), Paul Hemminger (Unify Dayton), and Nemorino (President of the UDSL CALL Chapter) discuss the vision for a multi-generational, ecumenical legal ecosystem in Greater Dayton. The Christians in Law (CALL) network is designed to break the isolation of the legal profession by providing mentorship, spiritual discipleship, and a seamless pipeline from law school to legal practice. In this video, you will hear: Nemo’s journey from Hong Kong to finding truth in Christ and leading his law school chapter. Judge Parker’s reflections on religious freedom, remaining humble, and using the Gospel of Matthew as a roadmap for his service in the courtroom. The vision for integrating the St. Thomas Aquinas Center, Christian Legal Society, and Dayton Catholic Lawyers Guild into one unified city-wide network.
