    At Alliance Defending Freedom, we are committed to victory. ADF has played various roles in 74 Supreme Court victories. Since 2011, ADF has won 15 cases at the Supreme Court.

    These victories have been on behalf of pastors, churches, religious organizations, college students, family-owned businesses, pregnancy centers, and a town council.

    ADF has litigated thousands of cases in the U.S. and has a nearly 80% win rate. Internationally, ADF has represented hundreds of clients and has achieved 30 victories at the European Court of Human Rights.

    Victories like these don't come easy and that's why we rely on one another.

    Prominent law firms like Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Jones Day, Cravath, Swaine & Moore, etc.
    44% of our attorneys have held federal clerkships—including at the U.S. Supreme Court and nine of the 12 U.S. Courts of Appeals—or clerkships at state supreme courts.

    ADF has more former clerks as a percentage of total attorneys than some of the largest and most respected law firms in the country.
