Jay Sekulow is the leading Supreme Court advocate of the Christian right, chief counsel of the Pat Robertson-founded American Center for Law and Justice and a visible champion of President Bush's high court nominees. Sekulow has also, via interconnected nonprofit and for-profit entities, built an empire that generates millions of dollars a year and supports a lavish lifestyle. That less-known side is revealed in interviews with ex-associates and court and tax documents reviewed by Legal Times. . . .
[C]ritics say Sekulow's lifestyle is at odds with his role as the head of a charitable organization that solicits small donations for legal work in God's name.
For example, in 2001 one of Sekulow's nonprofit organizations paid a total of $2,374,833 to purchase two homes used primarily by Sekulow and his wife. The same nonprofit also subsidized a third home he uses in North Carolina.
At various times in recent years, Sekulow's wife, brother, sister-in-law, and two sons have been on the boards or payrolls of organizations under his control or have received generous payments as contractors. Sekulow's brother Gary is the chief financial officer of both nonprofit organizations that fund his activities, a fact that detractors say diminishes accountability for his spending.
