National Legal Center for the Public Interest (NLCPI) describes itself as a law and educational foundation. According to its own website it was "created in 1975, [and] is committed to fostering knowledge about law and the administration of justice."

The website goes on to explain that "The Center contributes to the development of public debate and policy by providing the public and private sectors with timely information on key legal, legislative, regulatory, and economic issues of national importance. It does this through its educational publications and educational forums. The Center does not litigate." <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.nlcpi.org/" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(102, 51, 102); background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAKCAYAAACNMs+9AAAAGXRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQBBZG9iZSBJbWFnZVJlYWR5ccllPAAAAFZJREFUeF59z4EJADEIQ1F36k7u5E7ZKXeUQPACJ3wK7UNokVxVk9kHnQH7bY9hbDyDhNXgjpRLqFlo4M2GgfyJHhjq8V4agfrgPQX3JtJQGbofmCHgA/nAKks+JAjFAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); padding-right: 13px; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat;">[1]</a>

NLCPI follows the political agendas of its <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Right-wing" title="Right-wing" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">right-wing</a> funders, vehemently opposing <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Affirmative_action&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Affirmative action (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background-image: none;">affirmative action</a> and financing books such as Conservatives in Power: The Task of Governing by Terry Eastland.

They also founded and publish the "Public Interest Law Review", a heavily <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Conservative&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Conservative (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">conservative</a> publication "aimed at readers with an interest in the making and execution of public policy (law professors, political scientists, government officials, judges, and journalists who cover legal affairs)…[The] annual review discusses and debates issues of consequence for the public interest.

It is at the core of a large network of right-wing, business-oriented Legal Centers funded by the Scaife, Coor, Bradley, Olin interests.

This is a memberless organisation (consisting only of a Board). It was founded in 1975 as a <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/501(c)3" title="501(c)3" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none;">501(c)3</a> non-profit, based in Washington. The <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Pacific_Legal_Foundation" title="Pacific Legal Foundation" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none;">Pacific Legal Foundation</a> (a right-wing, pro-business, legal group run by <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Ron_Zumbrun&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Ron Zumbrun (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background-image: none;">Ron Zumbrun</a>) had conducted a study which concluded that the most effective way to counter the liberal, public-interest legal foundation model, was through an umbrella model creating a separate national coordinating entity for new PLFs in other regions. Initial funding was to come from J. Simon Fluor and <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Richard_Mellon_Scaife" title="Richard Mellon Scaife" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none;">Richard Mellon Scaife</a>.

The PLF subsequently went on to establish the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/New_England_Legal_Foundation" title="New England Legal Foundation" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">New England Legal Foundation</a>, Great Plains Legal Foundation (now <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Landmark_Legal_Foundation" title="Landmark Legal Foundation" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Landmark Legal Foundation</a>), and <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Mountain_States_Legal_Foundation" title="Mountain States Legal Foundation" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Mountain States Legal Foundation</a>.

But the NLCPI, in turn, was instrumental itself in spawning the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Atlantic_Legal_Foundation&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Atlantic Legal Foundation (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Atlantic Legal Foundation</a> (ex Mid Atlantic LF), <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Capital_Legal_Center&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Capital Legal Center (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Capital Legal Center</a>, <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Mid-America_Legal_Foundation&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Mid-America Legal Foundation (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Mid-America Legal Foundation</a> (not to be confused with Mid-Atlantic LF which became the Atlantic LC), and <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=SouthEastern_Legal_Center&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="SouthEastern Legal Center (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">SouthEastern Legal Center</a>.

The organisation's propaganda says that it doesn't involve itself in litigation as did many of its offspring, but at one time it did file suit (via Capital Legal Foundation - with $2 million of Scaife funding) on behalf of <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/William_Westmoreland" title="William Westmoreland" style=" text-decoration: none; background-image: none;">General Westmoreland</a> against <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/CBS" title="CBS" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none;">CBS</a> News. However, more recently it has taken on the role of acting as coordinator and communications center for all of these business-oriented legal-lobbyist/activist groups.

Funds pass through this network of legal foundations from on to another, so it is impossible to say which is being funded from what source with complete accuracy. However these are all primarily supported by the Sarah Scaife & Carthage Foundations, together with money from the Coors (beer) and Fluor families, and from the Southern Pacific Co. The NLCPI itself was initially funded by the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/John_M._Olin_Foundation" title="John M. Olin Foundation" style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none;">John M. Olin Foundation</a>, and the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Lynde_and_Harry_Bradley_Foundation" title="Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation" style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none;">Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation</a>.

The organisation has been led by Ernest B ("Ernie") Hueter, described in a <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Tobacco_Institute" title="Tobacco Institute" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none;">Tobacco Institute</a> report as a "one-time professional gag-writer", <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://ltdlimages.library.ucsf.edu/imagesd/d/k/i/dki40c00/Sdki40c00.pdf" style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none; color: rgb(102, 51, 102); background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAKCAQAAAAnOwc2AAAAGXRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQBBZG9iZSBJbWFnZVJlYWR5ccllPAAAAE5JREFUeF5lykEKgDAMBdF/+17Es/QkiosiCBURXIzJooZohmweX6gwmkCeI+Oqc2C1FnvnF2ejlQYU0tLK2NjY6f/l8V12Ti7uhFFgDj19b58EwXuqkAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==); padding-right: 13px; background-position: 100% 50%;">[3]</a> who later became the Chairman and CEO of Interstate Brands (which makes bread, cakes and confectionary). NOTE: His name is often mis-spelled as Heuter.

In 1988 the organisation inherited a number of aides and associates of <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Ed_Meese" title="Ed Meese" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none;">Ed Meese</a>, the former Counsellor to President Reagan and Attorney General (also the cover-up expert over the Iran-contra affair). Meese had also been instrumental in co-founding (with other Reagan aides) the Pacific Legal Foundation when Reagan was State Governor: this was created as an attack-dog which could be directed (at a safe distance) against the Californian liberals and organisations like the Sierra Club.

The NLCPI is given grants for its day-to-day activities by large corporations such as Philip Morris/Kraft, UST, Alcoa and ExxonMobil, and it also receives special grants for specific activities on their behalf.

In 1990 <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Philip_Morris" title="Philip Morris" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Philip Morris</a> contributed $2,500 to cost of publishing "Pernicious Ideas and Costly Consequences: The Intellectual Roots of the Tort Crisis" which was part of the tobacco (and other) industries long-running project to attack product liability laws, reduce punative damages, and limit class actions. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Kraft" title="Kraft" style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none;">Kraft</a> General Foods (a PM subsidiary) also contributed $2,500 to other publications.

Philip Morris's 1991 budget reports that the legal foundation has a budget of "somewhat under a million dollars", which included a $10,000 contribution from Philip Morris/Kraft.

It tends to focus these days on its program of publications, and so acts more like a think-tank than a normal legal lobbyist.
