Joshua Horwitz

Executive Director, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence

Biography
Joshua Horwitz, J.D., is Executive Director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.  He has spent nearly two decades working on gun violence prevention issues.  Mr. Horwitz developed the long-term strategy to close illegal firearms markets as a way to focus the gun control movement on the huge gaps in our nation's gun laws that easily allow criminals to obtain firearms.  This strategy includes implementation of policies such as closing the gun show loophole.  He has managed dozens of issue campaigns at the state and federal level-including, in 2005, the successful campaign to defend the power of the citizens of the District of Columbia to establish gun laws without the interference of Congress. He also represents victims and municipalities in their suits against the gun industry.  Mr. Horwitz has had the opportunity to testify before Congress and a number of state and local legislative bodies.

Mr. Horwitz is a graduate of the University of Michigan and received his law degree from the George Washington University.  He is currently a visiting scholar at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and is working on a book examining the relationship between guns and democracy which will be published by the University of Michigan Press in 2008.

James Manley

Attorney, Pacific Legal Foundation

Biography

Jim Manley is an attorney at Pacific Legal Foundation, where he litigates in defense of free speech, economic liberty, and property rights. For more than a decade, he has been fighting to protect and expand freedom through strategic litigation and policymaking.

Before joining PLF, Jim litigated at the Goldwater Institute and Mountain States Legal Foundation. In his first case after graduating from law school, he sued his alma mater and won at the Colorado Supreme Court, guaranteeing the right of self-defense on college campuses. Since then, he has successfully challenged many unconstitutional laws—including striking down part of the Kentucky Constitution—saved a man from jail for the “crime” of repairing windshields, prevented a foster child from being ripped away from her pre-adoptive parents because of her race, and helped enact laws protecting free speech on college campuses. His cases defending free speech, the right to keep and bear arms, taxpayer rights, and property rights have set important precedents for liberty in state and federal courts across the country.

A native of Michigan, he graduated from Arizona State University, with a double major in Political Science and Journalism. He earned his J.D. from the University of Colorado Law School, where he was an Associate Editor of the Law Review and President of the Federalist Society. Before attending law school, he was a professional ski instructor in Telluride, Colorado. He is licensed to practice law in Arizona and Colorado.

Jim lives in Phoenix with his wife, Marlene, and their children, Milton and Cora. They have a cat named Martha Washington.
