New Civil Liberties Alliance is located in Washington, United States on 1225 19th St NW Suite 450. New Civil Liberties Alliance is rated 4.7 out of 5 in the category association or organization in United States. Founded by law professor Philip Hamburger--and inspired by his scholarship--NCLA is a non-profit, public-interest law firm, which engages in pro bono litigation to defend the liberty established by the Constitution and restore constitutional constraints to the administrative state. It focuses primarily on fighting administrative power and conditions on spending where they systematically threaten constitutional freedoms, including the freedom of speech, jury-trial rights, and due process. Rather than resist administrative power wherever it threatens substantive rights and interests, NCLA will work against administrative mechanisms that repeatedly and broadly threaten constitutionally protected rights. For example, NCLA will oppose the Chevron and Auer deference federal courts give to administrative agencies that compromises judicial independence. Coordinating its efforts with other civil rights groups, NCLA will pursue strategic litigation that promises to curtail administrative threats to civil liberties.
