The National Legal Center for the Public Interest was a U.S. legal policy foundation with a membership of many prominent conservative lawyers. Fred Fielding was the most recent chairman of the foundation. Other prominent members included Theodore Olson, Judge Kenneth Starr, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, William Reynolds, Robert H. Bork, and Bruce Fein.
It authored a "federal judge identification program" that sought "to identify those who believe that the appropriate role of the judiciary is to interpret the law, not make it." It wrote papers on the "hidden costs" of affirmative action and on the "impossibilities" of the Americans With Disabilities Act.
In September 2007, the NLC was merged into the conservative American Enterprise Institute to become the AEI Legal Center for the Public Interest, directed by AEI resident fellow Ted Frank. AEI's existing legal and constitutional studies program, Federalism Project, and Liability Project were subsumed into the AEI Legal Center.
