Legal Departments in the Baha'i Administration

A Legal Department was set up in 1977 to work on pending legal matters, and to advise the Spiritual Assemblies on legal matters. Individuals such as Sam Nadarajah had also been contributed their services in 1977. In 1978, the services of Christopher Reginald were employed. In the 1980’s, a few Bahá’í youths graduated as lawyers, and they then served in a legal capacity.
