Mission Statement
The Liberty Justice Center is a non-profit, non-partisan public-interest law firm that fights to protect all Americans' economic liberty, private property rights, free speech, and constitutional rights. First and foremost, the Liberty Justice Center seeks to ensure that the rights to earn a living and to start a business, which are essential to a free and prosperous society, are available not just to a politically privileged few, but to all. The Liberty Justice Center pursues its goals through strategic, precedent-setting litigation to revitalize constitutional restraints on government power and protections, for individual rights.
About This Cause
The Liberty Justice Center’s mission is to revitalize constitutional protections for individual rights and restraints on government power through strategic precedent-setting public-interest litigation. The Liberty Justice Center gained national prominence in 2018 when it won the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case Janus v. AFSCME. Since that victory, LJC has built on that success to become one of the nation’s most aggressive public-interest law firms. LJC’s team works to defend and expand Americans’ rights in several main areas of litigation: • Educational Freedom: LJC seeks to expand and protect families’ right to decide how best to educate their children. • Worker Freedom: LJC continues to fight for employees’ right to decide whether they want to join and pay a union, is working to make Janus rights as well-known and well-protected as Miranda rights and is fighting to end the legal privileges that unions wrongfully enjoy. • Free Speech: LJC defends Americans’ rights to express themselves—and to speak anonymously, directly and through donations to causes they believe in. LJC is pushing back against “cancel culture.” • Executive Overreach: At every level of government, laws are increasingly made by executive-branch officials and bureaucrats—not by legislatures, as our republican system requires. LJC seeks to end these abuses and restore the constitutional system of checks and balances. Not only have we restored rights to over 7 million public sector union employees by giving them back their rights to opt-out of the union, but we also helped people like: --Tim Tizon, a college student at ASU. Tim was handing out copies of the constitution on campus when he was arrested, tried, sentenced, and found guilty of criminal trespassing. We then fought to get his conviction overturned and Won! --Principle Thorne, spoke to his students about about the importance of free speech, even speech you don't agree with, and was suspended. We got him back to work and now are fighting to make sure this never happens again. --Students in Loudoun County Virgina fought back after the school started a group to report on other students with an 'Action Plan to Combat Racism' by policing their peers. Not only are Loudoun school leaders telling students what they can and can not say, they are imposing controversial political views on students and punishing those who don't agree. We are defending their First Amendment rights and protecting their speech. --When Dr. Mark McDonald wanted to discuss COVID options with his patients based on their individual needs, Gov. Gavin Newsom said NO--you can only say what California approves of you saying to your patients or you could lose your license. We fought back and sued CA to overturn this blatantly unconstitutional law. --When low-income parents in Tennessee wanted to give their kids a better opportunity by choosing a better school, and then the state changed its mind and canceled the program--we fought the legislature and restored scholarships for over 2000 families. When our plaintiffs couldn't read or access the new scholarship application because they had no internet or in some cases a home, we had people on the ground helping them make sure their kids were enrolled and could access the scholarship funds. --When employers didn't want to force their employees to mask or to vaccinate, we filed suit against OSHA and Won the first case overturning the vaccine mandate. These are just a few of the hundreds of examples where we fought for individual constitutional rights--all at no cost to our clients. None of our efforts to defend and protect constitutional rights would be possible without the generous support of our donors.
