Last week, we argued at the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of Gerald Groff – our Faithful Carrier. Kelly Shackelford, President CEO and Chief Counsel, and Jeff Mateer, Chief Legal Officer, were in the courtroom when it happened.
Today, they join First Liberty Live! to give exclusive insights on what it’s like inside the courtroom, along with a discussion of the arguments presented in the case.

April looks to be our biggest month of the year so far as we’re going back to the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of Gerald Groff – our Faithful Carrier. When he was forced to quit his job because his religious beliefs weren’t honored by the USPS, First Liberty stepped in to fight for him – and now we’re doing it at our nation’s highest court.
On April 18th at 8:45am CST, we’ll be outside the courtroom to stream the full oral argument. Plus, you’ll hear President, CEO and Chief Counsel, Kelly Shackelford, explain what you’re about to hear inside the courtroom.
We have plenty of other cases and updates across the Institute this month; watch this short message from Kelly Shackelford as he breaks down this month’s action.

March is set up to be another busy month at First Liberty. We’re defending several first responders in cases that are vitally important to our liberty.
First up is Jacob Kersey, a young police officer from Georgia. Jacob was silenced for sharing his religious beliefs on marriage in a Facebook post and forced to leave his job. FLI has written a demand letter asking his superiors to apologize.
Next is Fire Chief Ron Hittle, a firefighter who served for over 20 years and was fired for attending a leadership conference hosted at a church. His distinguished service didn’t protect him from his anti-faith superiors.
