You: An entrepreneurial freedom fighter with a passion for, and 3-10 years’ experience in, civil rights litigation. You find and win cutting-edge civil rights cases across the country.

PLF has an unmatched record in the United States Supreme Court, with 17 victories out of 19 litigated at the Court. We have three cases currently pending before the Supreme Court, and we also have more than a hundred active cases across the nation.
