The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.

Louis D. Brandeis Supreme Court Justice

The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.

CLCMA’s practice focuses on two primary missions:

Challenging governmental security measures affecting Muslim communities which encroach upon the constitutional liberties guaranteed to all.

CLCMA achieves these missions by providing pro bono legal representation in federal courts and administrative proceedings for qualified individuals and organizations where the representation is in the interest of the Muslim community.
