Descriptiontext

The American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Judeo-Christian law firm founded in 2012 and co-led by Robert Muise and David Yerushalmi as Senior Counsel, headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan with a compliance correspondence address in Chandler, Arizona. The firm provides federal and state constitutional litigation, public policy advocacy, and educational programming focused on First Amendment free speech, religious liberty, parental rights, and opposition to government overreach. Its active docket spans multiple federal circuits (Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, DC) and state supreme courts, with representative matters including religious land-use cases for Catholic Healthcare International, free speech defense for the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform and American Freedom Defense Initiative, a military COVID-19 vaccination mandate challenge on behalf of Navy SEALs, the Virginia Supreme Court adoption case for the Mast family, and constitutional challenges in Idaho and Michigan.

The organization operates a pro bono public-interest model: clients receive legal services at no cost when their cases align with the firm's mission, and operating funding is sourced from charitable donations to the 501(c)(3) entity (American Freedom Law Center, Inc., incorporated in Michigan). Distribution and client acquisition rely on the firm's website (americanfreedomlawcenter.org), its Rumble video presence, its X/Twitter account (@aflc_freedomlaw), press releases, attorney media appearances (including Glenn Beck), and endorsements from allied public figures and organizations such as Priests for Life. There is no technology product layer, AI capability, app, or API; the value proposition is built on the founders' appellate track record, reputational endorsements, and the ability to take religious-liberty and conservative-aligned constitutional cases to verdict in higher courts.

The court determined that the firm lacked standing because it could not demonstrate that any alleged injury was caused by state officials or would persist in the future. This decision affirms the lower court's previous dismissal of the lawsuit regarding the firm's First Amendment claims against the Michigan Department of Civil Rights.
