CURRENT BRIEFS

April 19, 2010—Morgan v. Plano Independent School District—A Texas school district won’t let one of its students hand out pencils during non-instructional time that says “Jesus is the Reason for the Season”!  We have filed a brief at the United States Supreme Court defending the student’s right to do so.

April 15, 2010—Freedom from Religion Foundation v. United States—Atheist activist Michael Newdow is attacking the Pledge of Allegiance again—this time in New Hampshire’s public schools.  And we are defending it again!  Read our brief here.

March 26, 2010—Ward v. Eastern Michigan University—When one of its counseling students wanted to refer a client to another counselor rather than affirm the client’s homosexual lifestyle, EMU threw her out of its program.  She didn’t want to counsel against homosexuality; she simply wanted to pass on the client.  We defended her right to do so with this brief.

March 1, 2010—Incantalupo v. Lawrence Union Free School District—Parents in a New York school district argued that because the majority of the school board were all members of the same religion, the decisions they made violated the Establishment Clause!  This is not what the Framers of our Constitution intended and we wrote our brief to prove this point.

WELCOME

Welcome to the National Legal Foundation! 

The NLF is a Christian public interest law firm dedicated to the preservation of America's freedom and constitutional rights. Since the organization was founded in 1985, we have been actively involved in defending religious liberty throughout the courtrooms of the United States. Our efforts, however, do not stop at the courtroom door. 

Our goal is to make the American people aware of the law's personal impact. The erosion of our religious freedom is real. If our leaders and citizens in communities across America are not aware of the danger, they will be ill-prepared to respond when their rights are violated. It is this lack of readiness that the National Legal Foundation seeks to remedy.
