Pacific Justice Institute
Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) is a conservative Christian legal organization in the United States that focuses on religious freedom, parental rights, and related civil liberties. Founded in 1997 by Brad W. Dacus, PJI provides free legal representation and advocacy primarily for clients seeking to protect religious expression and parental rights in education and public policy.
Pacific Justice Institute was established in 1997 by Brad W. Dacus. Since its founding, PJI has grown to include multiple regional offices and has been involved in numerous legal cases across the United States.
Pacific Justice Institute operates regional offices across several states, with a central headquarters in California. Brad W. Dacus has served as president since its inception. The organization is funded primarily through private donations, including contributions from individuals and faith-based groups. Detailed financial information is available through IRS filings as a nonprofit organization.
PJI has been involved in legislation, has filed amicus curiae briefs in legal cases and testified in state and federal legislatures.
PJI supported Proposition 8, a 2008 California ballot initiative that defined marriage as one man and one woman. The ballot initiative was overturned by the Hollingsworth v. Perry decision in 2013.
PJI opposed the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate provision.
PJI unsuccessfully opposed SB 1172, a 2012 California law that banned conversion therapy for children under 18.
PJI opposed the School Success and Opportunity Act, a 2013 California law which allows transgender public school students to use restrooms and play on sports teams that fit their gender identity. In 2013, Media Matters for America described the Pacific Justice Institute as the "LGBT Misinformer of The Year", because it had publicized a press release containing false claims against a transgender student that were based only on the complaints of an angry parent, as part of its campaign against the law. Media Matters stated that PJI "came pretty close to conceding" the story was not true. In 2014, PJI filed suit over whether a referendum against the law qualified for the November 2014 ballot.
