ADF at the U.S. Supreme Court
Alliance Defending Freedom is the world’s largest legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, the sanctity of life, parental rights, and God’s design for marriage and family.
We don’t just stand for freedom—we win. Within only a few short weeks of our launch in 1994, ADF was funding a case at the U.S. Supreme Court and supported our first victory. Since then, we have played various roles in 83 Supreme Court victories, and since 2011, we have directly represented parties in 16 victories at the Supreme Court.
These victories have been on behalf of pastors, churches, religious organizations, college students, family-owned businesses, pro-life pregnancy centers, town councils, and many others. Learn more about our current or pending Supreme Court cases as well as our past victories below.
