The Buckeye Institute

We Defend Liberty &
the Constitution in Our Courts of Law

Sometimes, good public policy needs to be defended in court, and individuals must be protected from unfair and unjust laws violating their constitutionally protected rights. As a public interest law firm, The Buckeye Institute defends our liberties in courts across the country through direct litigation and by filing briefs in support of important legal cases. We defend liberty before state courts, federal courts, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
