The National Legal Foundation - Supporting the Biblical Foundations of American Law

CURRENT BRIEFS

November 21, 2011—Rubin v. City of Lancaster—Once again prayers at town council meetings are being challenged. We argued in this brief that they are part of our national heritage and completely constitutional.

November 4, 2011—ACLU v. Dixie County—The ACLU is attacking the Ten Commandments again. And we are defending them again . . . with this brief.

August 11, 2011—Moss v. Spartanburg County School District Seven—Another school gets attacked for doing the right thing: its "release time" program in which school children can receive credit for religious classes taught off-campus is in the cross hairs. But we are fighting back. Read our brief here.

August 9, 2011—Satawa v. Board of County Road Commissioners—After being threatened with a lawsuit by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, county officials caved in and removed a Nativity display that it had allowed for over 60 years. The county didn't want to fight, but we did. 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.

VICTORY!

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals strongly affirmed the religious rights of elementary school students, refusing to accept the argument that only older children deserve constitutional protection in schools. We supported the children and their parents with this brief.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the right of a Christian ministry to operate its homeless shelter and drug treatment program according to its religious convictions. Read our brief here.

The Ninth Circuit reversed a federal trial court that ruled that Sand Diego State University had not violated the free exercise and equal protection rights of Christian student organizations. This brief helped get the case sent back to the trial court.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation tried to shut down the National Day of Prayer. We helped stop them with this brief.
