Clint Bolick is the President and General Counsel of the Alliance for School Choice, a national nonprofit educational policy group advocating school choice programs across the country. Bolick is a co-founder of the Institute for Justice, where he currently serves as counsel for strategic litigation.

Bolick was an assistant at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission when current Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was EEOC chairman. While working for the Landmark Legal Foundation, Bolick led the defense for the first Wisconsin school voucher program.

Based on his school choice advocacy, Bolick presents himself as a defender of low-income schoolchildren, but this is controversial because of his active opposition to affirmative action. Bolick is the author of "The Affirmative Action Fraud: Can We Restore the American Civil Rights Vision?" published by the Cato Institute.
