CURRENT BRIEFS

February 4, 2010—Christian Legal Society v. Martinez—The University of California at Hastings has stripped the local Christian Legal Society chapter of its recognition as a student organization and removed 15 benefits from it—all because the chapter has refused to allow homosexuals to become voting members and officers.  Read our brief here.

January 27, 2010—McCollum v. California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation—A witchcraft practitioner has sued the California Department of Corrections, demanding that witchcraft and pagan chaplains be appointed for all of California’s prisons.  Worse, the his supporters have argued that the Founding Fathers would have wanted this!  We filed a brief to counter this non-sense.

January 8, 2010—Perry v. Schwarzenegger—Not satisfied with challenging California’s state constitutional amendment defining marriage as one man and one woman (commonly called Proposition 8) in state court, opponents of traditional marriage have sued in federal court to have Prop 8 declared unconstitutional.  Read our brief in this critical case here.

December 10, 2009—Croft v. Perry—The same atheist family that challenged Texas’ moment of silence law has now challenged Texas’ Pledge of Allegiance, which—like the US Pledge—contains the words “under God.”  We helped defend the Pledge.  Read the brief here.

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.
