Larry Elliot Klayman (born July 20, 1951) is an American attorney,[1][2] right-wing activist,[3][4] and former U.S. Justice Department prosecutor.[5] He founded both Judicial Watch[6] and Freedom Watch.[7]

In addition to his numerous lawsuits against the Clinton administration, which led him to be called a "Clinton nemesis,"[8] Klayman has filed a number of lawsuits against political figures and governmental agencies.[9] Klayman's goal in initiating the lawsuits is often to obtain information through the discovery process, rather than to win the lawsuit.[9] Most cases brought by either Judicial Watch or Klayman himself have failed.[10][11]

Critics have described him as a "gadfly"[12][13] and "a racist, a frivolous litigator and a conspiracy theorist" while Klayman describes himself as a "modern-day John Adams in a fight for justice."[14] His litigation tactics have led to criticism and to sanctions from legal authorities[15] including a ban from appearing in two courtrooms[9] and suspensions for one of his law licenses.[16]
