Founded 1981 · Education & Legal Defense Fund
We teach the Constitution, and we defend it in court.
Eagle Forum Education and Legal is a 501(c)(3) organization. Our work has three parts: we publish research that explains public questions in plain terms, we appear as a friend of the court on questions of constitutional principle, and we keep the Phyllis Schlafly archives open to scholars, students, and citizens.
