(September 3, 2014 Napa, CA) Life Legal Defense Foundation may be a small nonprofit law firm headquartered in
the Napa Valley, but its attorneys are making a huge impact across the country. Having adopted a David vs. Goliath
approach, this female legal group is taking the part of the little guy against the giants that establish policies
endangering life, liberty, and due process. This month, the organization marks 25 years of providing a trained and
committed defense of pro-life advocates, sending attorneys into courtrooms from Florida to California. Details on
the Life Legal Defense Foundation 25th anniversary celebration September 27 in San Francisco are available here

Dana Cody, President and Executive Director of Life Legal Defense Foundation, notes that the group has been
involved in highly publicized cases, including Terri Schiavo and Jahi McMath end-of-life decisions and the U.S.
Supreme Courts recent abortion-related rulings in favor of Hobby Lobby and pro-life sidewalk counselor Eleanor
McCullen.

We dont shy away from the headlines, explained Cody, but Life Legal Defense Foundation is about defending
the little guys. The everyday activity of Codys team involves hundreds of cases which are not reported in the
media, but which raise vital issues of freedom and liberty, including:

State Board of Health v. All Womens, Inc.
Supported Alabama in shutting down an illegal abortion clinic in Birmingham
Susan B. Anthony List v. Driehaus
Fought for the right to tell the truth about candidate life-issue voting records
Pro-Life Mississippi et al v. Horton et al
Held Jackson, Mississippi police accountable for routine harassment of pro-life citizens
People v. Mireille Miller-Young
Stood up for pro-life students attacked by University of California Santa Barbara professor

Another one of the little guys, Rev. Walter B. Hoye II, was arrested for standing on the sidewalk outside of an
abortion clinic, with a sign offering help to women entering the clinic. At a time when my civil liberties were being
threatened and I could not afford legal assistance, the Life Legal Defense Foundation graciously, expertly and
successfully defended my constitutional right to the freedom of religious expression, he explained.

A trio of in-house attorneys, Legal Director Catherine Short, Senior Staff Counsel Allison Aranda, and Staff Counsel
Rebekah Millard, hold down the west coast operations, while Cody works with those on eastern seaboard. Lawyers
in California, Illinois, Florida, Missouri, and Oregon serve on the firms Board of Directors and the Advisory Board
incorporates barristers and scholars from Indiana, New Jersey, Washington, DC, and eight major west coast
metropolises.

Life Legal Defense Foundation does not charge its clients for legal services. It is a donor supported organization that
relies on a network of volunteer attorneys and the financial gifts of like-minded benefactors.
