Home School Legal Defense Fund


A home school legal defense fund is when a group of people, specifically homeschoolers, pool their money together, usually through membership dues, to pay for legal services.

Membership dues go into a fund that is used to pay for legal fees, etc. if member families should ever need it.

In a way, a home school legal defense fund is similar to insurance. If you are a member and ever have legal problems that have to do directly with your private home school, then you can feel confident that you will be covered.

If you don't need any legal counsel or help, your membership dues will help pay for legal costs for other members who do have legal problems needing litigation.

Read the Fine Print

To receive help, families must decide to join prior to actually needing assistance. In other words, if you run into a problem and then decide to join a legal organization, you may not be eligible for membership, full membership benefits or free legal assistance.

If you join an organization that offers legal defense specifically for homeschoolers, make sure you check the "fine print" for any conditions that would exclude you from receiving legal help.

Nationwide Help

There are a couple of legal defense organization for homeschoolers, but the largest and most popular one is HSLDA with over 80,000 member families.
