Originally founded in 1972, First Liberty institute has evolved with the times and the needs of the nation. In 1997, we began to focus on Texas litigation as a non-profit law firm on issues of religious liberty with Kelly Shackelford as President and CEO. (It was originally founded as a division of the Free Market Foundation and called Liberty Legal Institute). As Liberty Legal, we won several landmark victories in Texas, including:
Protecting the rights of senior citizens to pray over their meals at government-run facilities
Establishing the doctrine of Church autonomy at the Texas Supreme Court
Defending the constitutionality of a Ten Commandments monument on the grounds of the Texas Capitol
In 2009, Liberty Legal officially became Liberty Institute, quickly gaining renown as the premiere legal organization defending religious liberty in the State of Texas and beyond. During this time, we successfully:
Won a landmark victory protecting a cross-shaped veterans monument
Secured the release of an American missionary from a Haitian jail
Protected the First Amendment rights of elementary students
Stopped the government from banning prayer at military funerals
In 2014, we founded our Military Division, focused on protecting the religious liberty of service members and veterans, with Senior Counsel Mike Berry as the Director of Military Affairs. The Military Division has achieved significant victories for military members, including:
Clearing charges against a wrongfully-terminated Air Force veteran
Exonerating a chaplain relieved of duty for expressing his faith in counseling sessions
Defending the cross-shaped Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial
In February 2016, Liberty Institute officially became First Liberty Institute. Today, First Liberty is the largest legal organization in the nation dedicated exclusively to protecting religious liberty for all Americans. Our current cases include:
Protecting Orthodox Jews’ rights to meet in a home for worship
Defending a football coach fired for praying after a game
Representing a Marine court-martialed for refusing to remove a Bible verse from her workspace
Defending the constitutionality of the cross-shaped Bladensburg World War I Veterans Memorial

In less than 20 years, First Liberty expanded from a statewide organization to a national organization with active legal matters throughout the country.
As religious liberty violations against Americans of all faiths continue to increase, First Liberty continues to grow—championing religious liberty for all.
