Legislation

For almost 30 years, IJ has defended the constitutional rights of everyday people—not just inside courtrooms but also within the communities where family homes are cherished, livelihoods are built, and dreams are pursued. Our commitment has not wavered during this tumultuous year. On the contrary, IJ is working harder and more creatively than ever to respond to the twin crises of this year: the pandemic and its economic and health consequences, along with the current debate concerning law enforcement misconduct and the lack of accountability for government officials. The 2021 Initiative: IJ’s Customized Legislative Service is a new effort dedicated to providing real-world, effective solutions in IJ’s areas of expertise.
