The Rutherford Institute is a civil liberties organization based in Charlottesville, Virginia, that provides free legal services to individuals whose constitutional or human rights have been threatened or violated. Founded in 1982 by constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead, the institute pursues litigation to defend religious and civil liberties and also educates the public on issues affecting constitutional freedoms. Its work encompasses representing clients in cases related to school searches, religious expression, and other civil liberties concerns to safeguard fair treatment in the courts. The organization operates with a relatively small staff size and is active within the United States. Its mission centers on defending individual rights through legal action and public education, without providing general commercial services.
