The St. Thomas More Society of San Francisco was founded in 1937 and is the oldest fellowship of Catholic lawyers and judges in the West. The Society is named for the 16th-century lawyer, judge, and diplomat who became the first layman to serve as Lord Chancellor, England's highest judicial officer. The St. Thomas More Society of San Francisco invites members of the legal profession to join them in the pursuit of his call to true legal service. Learn more at stthomasmore-sf.org.
