About This Department
The Legal Department at Bethel handles a wide range of legal matters for the organization, from corporate registrations and property transactions to defending religious freedom cases before courts and human rights bodies.
Bethel lawyers and legal staff have argued cases before the European Court of Human Rights, the United States Supreme Court, and courts in dozens of other countries. Their work protects the right of Jehovah's Witnesses to worship, preach, and live according to their beliefs. These are rights that some may take for granted but that our brothers and sisters fight hard to maintain.
