Request Amicus Support
Legal Advocacy in the Public Square — Rooted in Truth, Justice, and the Gospel
At Equal Justice Solutions, we believe that law is not merely about process — it is about bearing witness to what is true and just.
That includes filing amicus briefs in cases that may not involve our direct clients but touch the core of our mission: defending the vulnerable, challenging injustice, and advancing a moral legal order rooted in the love of Jesus Christ.
We welcome requests to join or lead amicus filings in cases where our voice may add moral clarity, legal rigor, and theological weight to matters of public concern.
What We Do: A Mission-Driven Legal Practice
Our pro bono legal services are a core part of our identity as a Christian, faith-based, public benefit law firm founded on catholic social teachings. We serve clients who are facing serious, systemic harm — especially when they lack access to traditional legal help.
We focus on cases where legal advocacy can be a force for truth, healing, and restoration.
Why Choose Equal Justice Solutions?
We’re a faith-driven public benefit law firm, not a volume shop. Every case we take is intentional, and our class action attorneys are focused on high-quality legal advocacy, not churning cases.
What We Can Support
We are open to amicus involvement in matters involving:
Religious liberty
(without weaponizing faith to harm others)
Civil rights and equal protection
Whistleblower protections and corporate accountability
Housing justice and tenant rights
Predatory lending and financial exploitation
Access to justice and legal ethics
Abuse in institutional or faith-based settings
Government misconduct, overreach, or corruption
Structural injustices disproportionately affecting the poor
Cases involving moral clarity that intersect with Catholic social teaching
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” — Proverbs 31:8
We may file in federal or state appellate courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, federal circuits, or select state supreme courts — depending on alignment and capacity.
Timeline & Process
We request a minimum of 60 days’ notice before the filing deadline. This allows time for:
Reviewing the underlying record
Assessing strategic value
Identifying partner organizations or co-signers
Drafting and editing the brief
Securing any required approvals or filings
Exceptions may be made when the legal and moral urgency is high and the brief can be responsibly completed in less time.
What We Don’t Do
We are not a general legal aid firm, and we rarely accept family law cases (divorce, custody, etc.) unless tied to a broader civil rights or systemic injustice issue.
If we cannot take your case, we’ll do our best to connect you to resources that can.

A Witness in the Courts
We see amicus work as an extension of our apostolic vocation — a ministry of legal truth-telling in public space.
When we sign a brief, it is not to show off. It is to stand beside the voiceless, confront distorted power, and honor the God who loves justice.
“Woe to those who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent.” — Isaiah 5:23
If you are litigating a case and seeking amicus help from allies grounded in Christian ethics, elite legal skill, and moral seriousness — we’d be honored to discern that with you.
Let justice speak. Let truth be known. Let law serve love
Real Talk: Is This the Right Move?
Don’t blow the whistle because you’re angry.
Blow it because you can’t live with the lie.
If you’ve already spoken up and they came for you—you’re exactly why we exist.
In addition to our multi-lawyer team, we proudly partner with the nationwide law firm Wade Kilpela
Slade to ensure False Claims Act cases are staffed with the depth they demand. Typically, FCA matters
are supported by a team of three to four attorneys, combining trial-readiness, federal expertise, and
mission alignment.
