| Desc | LITIGATION: (See Schedule O for description.)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 1052 telephone calls for legal assistance during the past fiscal year. A total of 142 cases are currently in active litigation or pre-suit status under LC management. Although the vast majority of legal situations brought to LC are resolved without litigation, others are filed in federal and state courts across the United States. Litigation that is publicized through our media outreach also 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 2014 is just a sampling of the actual activities. The highlights of LC's activities listed below illustrate its motto: Restoring the Culture by Advancing Religious Freedom, the Sanctity of Human Life, and the Family.Advancing Religious Freedom:Continued our four-year fight against ObamaCare and the HHS Employer Mandate, which requires that employers provide contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs and devices. Filed a major brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby. Filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of the Town of Greece, New York, in which the Supreme Court issued a landmark decision upholding the right to open public meetings in prayer. Resolved many cases involving Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) in multiple states where school districts formerly discriminated against the Good News Clubs in terms of use of the facilities, time of use, fees, and announcements or advertisements. Now scores of children will be able to hear the Good News in public schools, where they couldn't before our interventions. Filed a brief in a major CEF case at the court of appeals and will later present oral argument for equal access in the public school. Defended the 131-year-old city of DeLand, Florida, seal containing a cross, after Americans United for Separation of Church and State complained that the seal is unconstitutional. Won a lawsuit against the City of Plainfield, Illinois, which denied equal access to Liberty Counsel because its meeting would include prayer and religious viewpoints on the founding of America. The city had to rewrite its policy and pay attorney fees. Provided legal counsel to Wausau West High School officials in Wisconsin after an atheist group complained when the choir director included religious songs in a Christmas concert. Intervened with Bagley Independent School District on behalf of Usama Dakdok, an anti-Sharia speaker, resulting in the school district in Minnesota reversing its viewpoint discrimination and allowing him to speak to students on campus. Led the national opposition to proposed rules that were designed to prohibit the speech of faith-based and policy organizations. Defended the First Amendment rights of a Pueblo, Colorado, citizen who regularly engages in street witnessing. Filed an amicus brief in support of Little Sisters of the Poor. The ObamaCare HHS mandate compels the Catholic nuns to choose between their sincerely held religious beliefs and their mission of helping the poor. Filed a federal lawsuit and won a major case against the Lake County, Florida, School District because one of its high schools persistently discriminated against the Fellowship of Christian Athletes by denying the Christian group equal access and equal treatment.Advancing the Sanctity of Human Life: Filed the nation's first private lawsuit against ObamaCare in 2010, became the first to argue the case at a federal court of appeals, and filed two briefs before the U.S. Supreme Court. Reargued the case at the federal court of appeals in May 2013, filed a petition with the Supreme Court challenging ObamaCare's employer mandate and the mandates that force employers and individuals to fund abortion, and filed a brief at the Supreme Court in the Hobby Lobby case arguing against the HHS abortion mandate. Provided counsel to Arkansas legislators on the Human Heartbeat Protection Act, which prohibits abortions performed at or after the twelfth week of pregnancy, and filed a brief on behalf of Concepts of Life Crisis Pregnancy Center in the federal court on behalf of the Heartbeat Protection Act. Provided legal counsel to legislators of several states regarding pro-life legislation that was later signed into law, including Human Heartbeat, 12-week and 20-week bans, ultrasound, informed consent, personhood, and other abortion and clinic regulations. Filed an amicus 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. Liberty Counsel represented and argued the first abortion buffer zone case before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1994, known as Madsen v. Women's Health Center. Filed a brief at the court of appeals on behalf of pro-life sidewalk counselors challenging a Florida law that restricts pro-life speech near a West Palm Beach abortion clinic. Filed a major amicus brief in a case in which the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that "child" in the state chemical endangerment law includes "unborn child," and also went on to demolish the U.S. Supreme Court's abortion decisions.Advancing Family Values: Here are a few cases and situations involving family issues that required LC involvement during the past fiscal year. Came to the aid of Lou and Lind Pelletier to rescue their daughter, Justina, who was essentially kidnapped by the Massachusetts Department of Children & Families (DCF) after the parents took Justina to Boston Children's Hospital, where an inexperienced doctor, fresh out of medical school, and a psychologist, without speaking to Justina's treating expert physician from Tufts Medical Center, reclassified her condition and alleged that her documented physical complaints were mental and not physical. In addition to an enormous amount of legal and media work and actions, we filed a habeas corpus to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, and civil rights lawsuits seeking to return Justina to her family. Filed suit in federal district court and then filed a brief in the court of appeals on behalf of counselors, clients, and counseling associations challenging New Jersey Bill A3371, which bans counselors from offering, and minors from receiving, counseling to diminish, eliminate, or change same-sex attractions, behavior, or identity. Filed petitions with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and then at the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of minors, parents, counselors, and counseling organizations, challenging California Law SB 1172, banning minors from receiving, and counselors from offering, counsel to change unwanted same-sex attractions, behavior, or identity. Successfully defeated attempts to pass change therapy counseling bans in five states. Continued to defend Massachusetts pastor Scott Lively from a lawsuit filed by Sexual Minorities of Uganda (SMUG), alleging "crimes against humanity" under international law for speaking out against homosexual conduct while visiting Uganda. Even though the Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that the Alien Tort Statute cannot be used against citizens in America for alleged violations of international law, the federal judge, who calls himself the "legislator of mankind," refused to dismiss the case. Filed amicus briefs in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in defense of Nevada's Marriage Amendment. Provided research and expert testimony to successfully reverse Croatia's harmful sex education policies and supported Croatia's Constitutional Amendment affirming marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Supported the Florida Marriage Protection Amendment, drafted by Mat and Anita Staver, by filing legal pleadings to defend the law in three separate Florida lawsuits. Filed amicus briefs in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, asking the court to uphold the Utah and Oklahoma Marriage Amendments. Filed two briefs at the Fourth Circuit in Richmond in support of Virginia's Marriage Amendment. | Desc |

| Explanation | The Organization is exempt from federal income tax as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and from state income tax pursuant to Florida law. The Organization is further classified as a public charity and not a private foundation for federal tax purposes. The Organization is voluntarily filing Form 990, as it has been recognized by the IRS as an organization described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6033-2(h) and is not required to file Form 990. The Organization engages in a certain "unrelated business activity," the net income from which is subject to federal and state income taxes. The Organization has not taken any material uncertain tax positions for which the associated tax benefits may not be recognized under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Federal and state tax authorities may generally examine the Organization's income tax positions or (if applicable) returns for periods of approximately three to six years. | ExplanationTxt |

|---|---|
| Form 990, Part V, Line 2a: The Organization was enrolled in an employee | leasing program during the year ended June 30, 2014 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 40 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. Anita Staver and Art Ally have a business 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 $39,800 (more than 12% 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. |
| 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. |
