You: An entrepreneurial freedom fighter with a passion for, and significant experience in, litigation. You find and win cutting-edge cases across the country. You work independently with minimal supervision, but as a part of a collaborative team.

You are a leader and mentor who will elevate other PLF attorneys to be the best public-interest litigators in the nation. Them: Bureaucrats, city councils, mayors, governors, and federal agencies stripping Americans of their rights every day. There’s a lot of government overreach out there, and it’s backed by seemingly endless resources.

But fortunately, like all lumbering giants, abusive government is most vulnerable when countered by individuals who act strategically and nimbly, take calculated risks, have each other’s backs, and are confident in and passionate for the cause—the very sort of swashbucklers we employ in spades here at PLF. Us: We fight back. ” PLF has an unmatched record in the United States Supreme Court, with 18 victories litigated at the Court.

We also are actively litigating nearly two hundred cases in trial and appellate courtrooms across the nation. We are a next-generation public interest law firm. What does “next-generation” mean for a legal nonprofit?

It means we aren’t interested in doing the same thing as everyone else. We aspire to be the best player in a constantly changing game. About our practice groups: Property Rights are the foundation of liberty.

The right to own, enjoy, and put property to productive use is a source of personal security, dignity, and prosperity, protecting the freedom of individuals to shape their destiny. We aim to achieve the same level of constitutional protection for individual rights in property as the courts accord other celebrated personal liberties. Equality and Opportunity are the cornerstones of our civil rights.

But government stands in the way of many people’s opportunities today. It has displaced the Constitution’s guarantee of liberty with policies that assail, for instance, opportunities to earn a living or pursue a quality education.

Benefits

to some at the expense of others, increasingly discriminating based on race, sex, or group entitlement. PLF’s equality and opportunity cases aim to secure equal freedom for all. We work to dismantle unconstitutional barriers to opportunity, freeing individuals to rise based on their choices, character, and ability.

” Our Constitution established three separate branches of government: legislative, executive, and judicial. And yet, the American administrative state has grown into a Leviathan. Today, a sea of regulatory agencies has seized more power—becoming lawmaker, executive, and judge—to exert greater control over our lives.

PLF fights to rein in this unconstitutional “fourth branch” and to restore the proper structure of our government. Environment and Natural Resources roots itself in the belief that human creativity, unleashed through liberty, solves problems and expands the world’s potential. We defend the freedom to use public and private land productively by protecting constitutional limits on government power and promoting abundance through innovation.

At PLF, we believe human ingenuity is the ultimate resources. What PLF Attorneys get to do: Litigate for Liberty: Be on the front lines of the fight for individual freedom by litigating strategic lawsuits against government abuse.
