What kind of cases does PJI handle?

PJI handles cases addressing religious freedom including church and private school rights issues, curtailments to evangelism by the government, harassment because of their religious faith, employers attacked for their religious-based policies, students and teachers rights to share their faith at public schools. PJI also works hard to defend the rights of parents including their right to homeschool, review and have notice of public school curriculum and presentations, and opt out their children from objectionable material.

How is PJI Different?

PJI is made up of a network of over a 1,000 volunteer affiliate attorneys nationwide. These volunteer attorneys save PJI more than 90% of what cases normally would cost. This savings allows PJI to take on many cases. PJI also does not focus on just those cases that are likely to go to the Supreme Court. While PJI is willing to take cases to the Supreme Court, PJI has a unique commitment to provide legal counsel and representation to everyone they feel falls within their mission.

Does PJI charge for their legal services?

No. PJI provides all its legal representation without charge. However, individuals with matters outside the scope of PJI are often referred to a private attorneys.

PJI receives almost all of its funding through donations by individuals who believe in PJI's work. The average donation is about $50 per month. Some churches also support PJI on a monthly basis as well. All donations to PJI are tax deductible!
