Who We Are



Southeastern Legal Foundation is a national, nonprofit legal organization dedicated to defending liberty and Rebuilding the American Republic®. Founded in 1976, SLF has made it its mission to protect the American people from government overreach, challenge government policies when they violate the Constitution, and restore constitutional balance in our system of government.

SLF not only holds government officials accountable to the Constitution, but also equips Americans with the tools they need to fight for their constitutional rights. For nearly 50 years, SLF has proudly defended your constitutional rights both in and out of the courtroom.

Our Key Issues



Reclaiming Civil Liberties

Civil liberties have been hijacked to advance group identity and equity – SLF ensures equal protection and opportunity.

Protecting Free Speech

First Amendment free speech rights of families, organizations, and individuals are under assault – SLF stands with them in court.

Restoring Constitutional Balance

Our U.S. Constitution is designed to limit government power – SLF goes to court to combat unconstitutional control over our lives.

Securing Property Rights

Property is a top target of government regulation, covering more than land alone – SLF leads the fight to protect this basic liberty.
