The Lex Rex Institute (LRI) is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit constitutional advocacy organization, founded in 2021 and based in Long Beach, California. The organization focuses on litigation, education, and policy advocacy related to constitutional governance, with an emphasis on originalist interpretations of the United States Constitution. LRI works on issues such as free speech, election law, separation of powers, parental rights, and bodily autonomy.[1]
LRI has represented clients including John C. Eastman,[2][3] Congressmen Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene.[4][5] LRI has also represented Kari Lake.[6] The organization has worked with entities such as the Claremont Institute’s Constitutional Counsel Group,[7][8] the Public Interest Legal Foundation,[9] and the Mountain States Legal Foundation.[10][11][12]
LRI has litigated cases challenging COVID-19 pandemic measures, including mandates related to vaccines and testing.[13] The organization has also taken on parental rights cases, including free speech issues in public schools,[14] and parental objections to school practices involving nonbinary counselors at a student camp.[15]
LRI has also been involved in a variety of election litigation lawsuits, challenging procedures such as the use of vote centers in California,[16][17] addressing irregularities in Shasta County elections,[18][19][20] and assisting with implementing hand verification audits of elections and, in 2023, authored a manual count plan for Shasta County to use in its efforts.[21] Additionally, LRI was involved in litigation challenging a Long Beach ballot measure, alleging that the measure was an “anti-competitive tool" intended to advantage the interests of hotel workers unions.[22][23]
LRI is led by its president, Alexander Haberbush,[24] who has been described by A News Cafe as a "celebrity right-wing attorney."[25] He has been quoted as a legal expert in media outlets on issues such as constitutional law and election law.[26] The organization also includes attorney Deborah Pauly, a former Orange County city councilmember and a member of the John Birch Society National Council.[27][28]
