The Litigation Team
WILL was launched to litigate: we take the fight for freedom to the courts, and to retake ground that had long been ceded to activists who used the courts to erode the freedom and prosperity of all Americans.
We defend small business owners, teachers, parents, and others from a wide variety of backgrounds against the government and well-financed interests from Washington D.C. and Madison. The success we have gained in this arena comes from putting together a remarkably talented team. Our record in litigation is among the best nationwide for public interest law firms because we’ve invested in bringing in the finest attorneys in the freedom movement – think the legal version of the Navy Seal Team Six.
Also, here are the only three minorities to their team of 21 and role:
