Louis-Léon Christians has a Ph.D. in Law and Ph.D. in Canon Law. He is an associate professor at the UCL (Université Catholique de Louvain) and visiting professor at the Catholic Institute of Paris and the University of Paris XI. He was appointed in 1999 by the Belgian Parliament as one of eight expert members of the board of the Belgian Federal Agency on Harmful Cults (CIAOSN).
