Emily Amin is state policy counsel at Pacific Legal Foundation, where she works to research, track, and promote policies that protect individual liberty and ensure constitutional protections in our government and institutions.
Emily recently graduated from Belmont University College of Law, where she was a member of the Board of Advocates. During law school, she also clerked with the Beacon Center of Tennessee, the Goldwater Institute, and PLF’s legal policy team.
Growing up around entrepreneurs, Emily was always well aware of the ways in which government regulation can roadblock individuals on the way to their American Dream. In high school, she read Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead and has been attached to the liberty movement ever since. During college, she was active in her on-campus Young Americans for Liberty chapter.
Emily is from Birmingham, Alabama, where she attended the Alabama School of Fine Arts. She then received her M.A. in early modern English history at The University of Alabama, where she focused her studies on petty treason in the 16th and 17th centuries before heading to Nashville to earn her J.D.
Emily currently lives in Nashville with her husband and their two cats, Soren and Hal. She loves all things medieval history and mystery novels (especially anything Anthony Horowitz) and is an avid Pilates-goer.
