What does Public Policy mean?

Public Policy generally refers to laws, such as statutes, municipal codes, guidelines, and rules, created by governmental entities or through the initiative process. These laws can have a profound negative or positive impact on religious liberty and other individual rights.

Attorneys for the NCLP have experience advising the following entities on matters involving public policy:
• school boards
• city councils
• state legislatures

From drafting sample school board and city council policies, to informing legislators about the legal and societal impact of pending legislation, the NCLP is committed to providing counsel to governmental entities seeking to protect and honor the civil liberties of their constituents.
