Meet the D.C. Law Firm Protecting Religious Freedom for All

A public interest law firm in Washington, D.C., of about 20 attorneys, which now goes by Becket to avoid confusion that they offer funding, has defended religious freedoms of Catholics, evangelicals, Muslims, Sikhs, Jews and Native Americans — all free of charge — for over 30 years, marked by a string of significant Supreme Court wins. With the Apache case, Becket faced an uphill battle: The case lacked favorable precedent, the government argued, and the group had no right to the federal land.
