OUR CASES

The Muslim Legal Fund of America considers cases with significant potential impact on civil rights and liberties in America. MLFA does not fund cases solely on the basis of a person’s religious identity.

MLFA Defends Muslims by providing pro bono legal services in criminal, civil, and immigration law at the federal level. MLFA defends against unjust prosecution, governmental overreach, and systems of oppression through civil, immigration, and criminal litigation. All legal services are provided at no cost to beneficiaries.

MLFA is the only Muslim organization protecting civil liberties through national security expertise in federal criminal defense, immigration and habeas litigation, constitutional civil actions, and principled nonprofit governance.
