Michael Whitehead has played an outsized role in setting favorable U.S. Supreme Court precedents for religious liberty.

Since his landmark victory in 1981 that held the University of Missouri-Kansas City couldn’t bar a student religious group from meeting in a campus building, the Whitehead Law Firm has been involved in some of America’s most important cases impacting the religious choices for individuals, businesses and non-profit ministries.

In 2022, he helped win a ruling that a Maine tuition aid program had to extend to students attending private religious schools.

Whitehead earned his law degree from the University of Missouri in 1975.
