| Desc | LITIGATION: (See Schedule O for description.)LITIGATION:LC staff includes attorneys who assist individuals, organizations, and churches on a pro bono basis with legal issues regarding religious liberty, the sanctity of human life, and the family. LC is committed to representing clients without regard to their ability to pay. Without assistance, most clients could not afford to assert their constitutional rights in court. LC handled more than 800 telephone calls and many hundreds of additional emails and letters requesting legal assistance during the past fiscal year. A total of 149 cases were in active litigation in state or federal courts or had pre-suit status under LC management. Although the vast majority of legal situations brought to LC are resolved without filing lawsuits, litigation that is publicized through our media outreach serves an educational purpose by informing the public regarding constitutional law. Quality in litigation is of paramount importance to LC, especially since most of the cases falling within its mission are likely to create important legal precedent for future cases. In a well-documented doctoral dissertation, Professor Hans Hacker concluded that LC accomplishes more with its resources than any other similar legal organization. The following brief synopsis of the hundreds of cases and other legal actions LC undertook for the fiscal year is a small sample of actual activities. The highlights listed below illustrate the motto: Restoring the Culture by Advancing Religious Freedom, the Sanctity of Human Life, and the Family.Advancing Religious Freedom:Successfully defended a student in Nassau County, Florida, after he faced wrongful persecution following a complaint by an atheist organization for stating "God bless America" while delivering a school public announcement. The school district apologized and said it will now welcome such messages from students. Stopped Lake Worth, Florida, zoning officials from harassing churches with threats and videotaping services in an effort to force churches to obtain a business license or close. The churches were being targeted for harassment by a homosexual city council member. Presented oral argument at a federal court of appeals and resolved many cases involving Child Evangelism Fellowship Good News Clubs in multiple states where school districts formerly discriminated against the Christian clubs in terms of use of the facilities, time of use, fees, and announcements or advertisements. Filed an important brief at the U.S. Supreme Court urging the Court to return to the original intent of the First Amendment Establishment Clause and abandon its confused line of cases that allow an "offended" observer power to censor religious words or displays. Continued to fight against the ObamaCare law and the HHS Employer Mandate, which requires that employers provide contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs and devices. Filed briefs at the Supreme Court and other federal courts of appeal challenging the contraceptive and abortion mandate and the federal subsidies. Defended the constitutional rights of students who are members of Fellowship of Christian Athletes in Lake County, Florida, where the school district was seeking to restrict access and limit the right to meet on campus. Filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court, which subsequently ruled in Town of Greece v. Galloway that opening a town meeting in prayer does not violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Defended the Allegheny County Council after an atheist organization opposed the display of the national motto, "In God We Trust." Successfully defended homeowners in Kissimmee, Florida, when they faced religious discrimination from their homeowner's association that tried to stop the couple from displaying two small statues of Mary and Jesus while allowing other homeowners to display human skulls and topless Greek statues. Filed an important brief at the U.S. Supreme Court to defend the right of a church to advertise like other businesses. Defended pastors in Houston when the openly lesbian Mayor subpoenaed their sermons and tried to silence them from speaking out about a radical gender-identity ordinance. Finally got a 14-year lawsuit dismissed against Jews for Jesus, in which an attorney who had a bitter vendetta against Christians sought to silence a Christian ministry. The courts sanctioned the attorney and required that he pay about $120,000 to LC. Successfully defended against and got a baseless lawsuit dismissed that challenged a ministry's voter guide, in which the losing candidate was forced to dismiss the fraudulent suit and pay damages. Stood by the Collier County, Florida, School Board when the ACLU tried to force the school to not use a church as the venue for a choir presentation open to the public. Conducted the twelfth annual "Friend or Foe" Christmas Campaign designed to educate and, if necessary, litigate to ensure that Christ and Christian viewpoints are not excluded from Christmas. Conducted the thirteenth annual "Friend or Foe" Graduation Prayer Campaign designed to educate and, if necessary, litigate to ensure that prayer and religious viewpoints are not suppressed during graduation ceremonies and all through the year. Filed a federal lawsuit against a North Carolina public library that denied LC the right to use a public meeting room because the presentation on the role of religion and Christianity in the founding of America was deemed religious, in violation of the library's policy banning religious speech. Defended a 16-year-old, dual-enrolled college student when her professor at Polk State College gave the straight-A student four zeros because she would not succumb to his militant atheist insults against Christianity and Jesus Christ.Advancing the Sanctity of Human Life: Successfully defended a pastor's right to speak out on abortion after he was arrested and jailed for four hours simply for holding a sign stating that abortion kills children.Continued to defend pro-lifers and filed a brief at the Florida Court of Appeals on behalf of a peaceful sidewalk counselor who received a "stalking" injunction merely because the abortion clinic disagreed with his peaceful message against abortion. Joined several hundred thousand pro-life Americans at the March for Life in Washington, DC. Worked with legislators and pro-life groups in Arkansas in the defense of Arkansas's twelve-week abortion ban. Filed an important brief at the Alabama Supreme Court which has now ruled that the word "child" in the chemical endangerment law includes unborn children. Filed an important brief with federal court of appeals stating that abortion viability standards should be revisited in light of modern advancements in medicine and understanding of children in the womb. Filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in McCullen v. Coakley, a case challenging a Massachusetts law that creates a 35-foot "buffer zone" around abortion clinics, in which the Court ruled that the "buffer zone" is unconstitutional. Obtained a preliminary injunction which blocked the Obama administration from enforcing the ObamaCare contraception and abortion mandate against Ave Maria School of Law, a Catholic law school in Florida. Launched Liberty Relief International to support persecuted Christians in the Middle East and elsewhere.Advancing Family Values: Submitted a brief to the U.S. Supreme Court defending marriage and exposing the statistically and scientifically fraudulent report of Alfred Kinsey, which he derived from serial child rapists, sex offenders, prisoners, prostitutes, pedophiles, and pederasts for the purpose of destroying marriage and Judeo-Christian morality. Presented oral argument at a federal court of appeals on behalf of counselors and families challenging a New Jersey law, which bans counselors from offering, and minors from receiving, counseling to diminish or eliminate same-sex attractions, behavior, or identity. Filed an appeal at the U.S. Supreme Court challenging a New Jersey law which bans counselors from offering, and minors from receiving, counseling to diminish or eliminate same-sex attractions, behavior, or identity. Successfully aided a grassroots effort that led to the citizen repeal of a law passed by the Fayetteville, Arkansas, City Council requiring churches, Christian schools, and other para-church ministries to hire homosexuals for "secular" jobs, allowing men to use women's restrooms and locker rooms, and requiring Christian business owners to service "same-sex weddings" under the threat of criminal prosecution of those who refused to comply. Filed suit on behalf of magistrates in North Carolina who were pressured to officiate same-sex "weddings" or face suspension, termination, fines, or prosecution. Filed briefs in Florida and argued two cases to defend the Florida Marriage Protection Amendment that affirms marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Filed suit in Florida to block sta | Desc |

| Form 990, Part V, Line 2a: The Organization was enrolled in an employee | leasing program during the year ended June 30, 2015 for some of its employees. The Organization did not directly process payroll for these employees; rather, the employees were paid by the Organization's professional employer organization. Therefore, a Form W-3 was not submitted by the Organization, but by ADP TOTALSOURCE MI VI, LLC (EIN: 65-0945794) for the Organization's 2 leased employees. In addition, the Organization reimbursed another not-for-profit organization for a portion of the cost of services provided by 36 attorneys and administrative personnel. A Form W-3 was submitted by the other nonprofit organization to report the compensation paid to these individuals. The number of employees reported on this Form 990 reflects the employees reported under the arrangements described above, which comprise the Organization's entire staff. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 | Anita Staver and Mathew Staver have a family relationship. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | The Organization's top management official and top financial official each review the Form 990 prior to its filing with the IRS. A copy of the final Form 990 is also provided to the voting members of the Organization's governing body prior to its filing with the IRS. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | The Organization's conflict of interest policy is distributed to each member of the Organization's governing body, its officers, and its key employees on an annual basis. Each such individual provides an annual disclosure statement indicating that they have received, read, understood and agreed to comply with the policy, and certifying that: (1) they have no relationships or interests that present a conflict of interest, (2) they have one or more conflicts of interest that have been fully disclosed as required by the policy and have been properly administered in conformity with the policy, or (3) they have previously undisclosed conflicts of interest and are disclosing the details of such conflicts. Any disclosure statement with previously undisclosed conflicts of interest are forwarded to appropriate Organization officials to take appropriate actions as required by the policy. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The Organization has adopted an executive compensation setting policy applicable to its key leaders, including the Organization's CEO, officers and other top leadership personnel. Under the policy, an independent committee of the Board of Directors annually reviews and approves the compensation levels of all individuals subject to the policy. The deliberations and decisions of the committee are documented in the minutes of the committee meeting. In its deliberations, the committee utilizes appropriate information regarding compensation amounts paid for comparable positions in comparable organizations. These procedures are followed to ensure that compensation arrangements for the Organization's key leaders are reasonable and appropriate. Mathew Staver and Anita Staver are both attorneys who actively lead and manage the Organization. A committee of independent members of the Board of Directors without a conflict of interest set the salaries for the Organization's leadership after evaluating comparative data regarding compensation for similar positions, including a review of salary information from the IRS Form 990s of other nonprofit legal organizations, and concluded that Mathew and Anita Staver have been consistently paid less than attorneys of other nonprofit legal groups. Their salaries were raised effective July 2013, based on a review indicating a total compensation range of $151,000 to more than $369,000 for attorneys who lead legal organizations, and a range of $200,363 to $311,674 for attorneys who manage litigation. Individual leaders of groups with much smaller budgets than Liberty Counsel (under $2.5 million) are compensated between $151,000 to $270,500. In addition, some Form 990s show that their nonprofit legal organization leaders are compensated by several separately incorporated entities, while other salaries are unverifiable because the groups compensate their leaders with multi-million dollar payments to their own for-profit law firms. Even with the new salaries, their compensation remains lower than similar organizations, and in addition, the Stavers donated $20,700 (more than 7% of their combined income) back to the Organization. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | The Organization provides, upon request, copies of its Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, conflict of interest policy, and its financial statements. |
| Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: | The Organization's Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, assumes responsibility for the oversight of the audit of its financial statements, and the selection of an independent accountant. This process has not changed from the prior year. |
