Located in Montgomery, Alabama, the Foundation for Moral Law is a 501(c)(3) corporation operating as a non-profit organization with a mission to protect individual religious liberties rights contemplated in the United States Constitution. .[1] The Foundation participates in two main functions. First, personnel at the Foundation provide legal representation for people involved in situations concerning religious liberties. The Foundation also publishes amici curiae court briefs in advocating these rights.
A second pursuit of the Foundation is to hold seminars to educate lawyers and non-lawyers of what they perceive as a significant need to acknowledge God, in both law and government.
