What does Pacific Legal Foundation do?

Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) is a nonprofit public interest law firm established in 1973. It is dedicated to defending individual liberty, property rights, and limited government against government overreach. PLF provides pro bono legal representation, files amicus curiae briefs, advocates for legislation, develops model policies, and conducts research in five core areas: property rights, free speech, economic liberty, equality before the law, and separation of powers.

The organization has argued 20 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, winning 18 of them, including significant rulings that have shaped property rights and free speech laws. PLF represents individual clients in high-stakes cases against government entities, focusing on empowering "the little guy" in legal battles.
