St. Thomas More Society of San Francisco
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.
The St. Thomas More Society invites members of the legal profession to remain with us in the pursuit of his call to true legal service. Learn more about our society and membership >
