What We Do
Pacific Legal Foundation is a national public interest law firm that defends Americans from government overreach and abuse. We sue the government when it violates your constitutional rights—and we win.
At PLF, we believe in individual liberty: that when people are free to live peacefully and productively, without interference by government, they improve themselves, their families, and their communities.
We represent hundreds of Americans, free of charge, giving them a day in court to protect their rights.
