About IJ: The IJ Mission
“The Institute for Justice’s cases deal with the common man . . . with the people who otherwise wouldn’t have a champion. IJ finds cases that accentuate the fact that freedom helps the average person, it helps them compete against big government or big business.”

Institute Profile: The IJ Mission
Through strategic litigation, training, communication, activism and research, the Institute for Justice advances a rule of law under which individuals can control their destinies as free and responsible members of society. IJ litigates to secure economic liberty, school choice, private property rights, freedom of speech and other vital individual liberties, and to restore constitutional limits on the power of government. In addition, IJ trains law students, lawyers and policy activists in the tactics of public interest litigation.
Through these activities, IJ challenges the ideology of the welfare state and illustrates and extends the benefits of freedom to those whose full enjoyment of liberty is denied by government.
