The Thomas More Law Center is a Christian, conservative, nonprofit, public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and active throughout the United States.[2] According to the Thomas More Law Center website, its goals are to "preserve America's Judeo-Christian heritage, defend the religious freedom of Christians, restore time-honored moral and family values, protect the sanctity of human life, and promote a strong national defense and a free and sovereign United States of America."[3][4]

The Thomas More Law Center is active in social issues such as opposing same-sex marriage,[5] abortion,[6] provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act[7] and the HHS Mandate.[8] The Law Center has been involved, often unsuccessfully, in high-profile cases including the litigation of the Dover, Pennsylvania intelligent design case,[9] the defense of Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani against misconduct allegations stemming from the November 2005 Haditha incident,[10] and the Law Center's federal lawsuit against the US Government regarding the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Individual Mandate.[7] The Law Center also litigates cases related to the defense of Christians and anti-abortion activists,[11] and has successfully defended the use of dark money in American elections.[12]
