According to their website, The Institute for Justice is a nonprofit, public interest law firm. Our mission is to end widespread abuses of government power and secure the constitutional rights that allow all Americans to pursue their dreams.
I’m curious what the members of this sub think of the group. I’m also very curious whether you consider them conservative, liberal, left, right, none of the above, apolitical, or anything else.
The IFJ recently filed a lawsuit in my home state of Minnesota, related to Alternative Dwelling Units and related zoning rules. Zoning as an issue has become more common recently and, my own take, is an issue that doesn’t fit neatly into the traditional left/right, liberal/conservative framework.
Police misconduct is another issue that, again, at least to me, isn’t an issue that is the purview of one mainstream political grouping or ideology.
So, I’d really like to know, what do you think of this group and where to the fit on the political spectrum?
NB4, The IFJ has a fairly narrow focus on issues that they do work on. I’d like to hopefully focus on those, and not hypothesize what they would think about other issues.
Here is a link to the IFJ press conference to the zoning case I mentioned, their website, and another

They are a libertarian organization as evidenced by the fact that they almost always buy out the back cover of Reason Magazine and are advertised and talked about most in libertarian leaning spaces. The types of cases they get themselves into are obviously all connected by obvious libertarian leanings and persuasions.
Also not to be a bit rude but you wrote all of that just to ask us when the first line of their Wikipedia article is: The Institute for Justice (IJ) is a libertarian non-profit public interest law firm in the United States.
