Organization with a full staff of attorneys who produce friend of the court briefs to encourage rulings which favor the rights of victims and law enforcement officers over the rights of suspects, defendants, and criminals. They support victims’ rights legislation. They advocate for court rulings that limit the right to appeal, and have secured court rulings which deny visitation rights to prisoners, limit the ability of federal courts to rule on matters involving state prisons, established the constitutionality of three strikes laws, and preserve mandatory sentencing laws. They support most tough on crime legislation, particularly legislation that creates longer sentences and allows the death penalty.
