Policy Issues

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 Western Center have experience advising the following entities on matters involving public policy:
• school boards
• city councils
• state legislatures
• federal legislators
• county boards

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

Does the WCLP advise clients on other related Policy Issues?


Yes. In recent years, the area of public policy has grown to include aspects of culture and society beyond mere government action. To accommodate the expanding scope of public policy issues, the WCLP has developed expertise in advising the following entities about their ability to influence and create public policy:
• pastors
• church board members
• homeowner’s associations
• civic and community groups
• individual parent and student groups.
