First Amendment Funding Organization

The First Amendment Funding Organization supports free speech by funding the filing and printing of cert petitions.

The Supreme Court grants paid cert petitions at a higher rate than petitions filed in forma pauperis. We do not know whether paying causes the difference. We pay so that pro-freedom petitions get whatever advantage paying brings.

Our cert-petition templates are free.

The download holds Word templates for a cert petition, its appendix, and its certificate of compliance. Each template carries instructions in highlighted text that does not print.

You may share the templates if you keep their form and include the readme.
