Luke Wake is an attorney in Pacific Legal Foundation’s separation of powers practice. He litigates cases challenging agency rulemaking decisions as contrary to the Constitution’s structural protections for individual liberty. He is leading the effort to rein in the administrative state by reinvigorating the non-delegation doctrine—the foundational idea that only Congress may make law and that it cannot give away its lawmaking powers to federal bureaucrats, the president, or anyone else.

Luke returned to PLF in 2020 after eight years advocating at the NFIB Small Business Legal Center for the rights of entrepreneurs to own and grow their businesses. Previously he completed a two-year fellowship at PLF—working on property rights—upon graduating from Case Western Reserve School of Law in Cleveland and completing an externship for Justice Robert Edmunds of the North Carolina Supreme Court. He graduated cum laude from Elon University in North Carolina, where he double-majored in political science and corporate communications.

Luke came to PLF because he is passionate about protecting the rights of individuals to pursue their own happiness and he wanted to do something meaningful to advance the cause of liberty. He could think of no better way—no more ambitious a project—than to build and litigate cases to restore separation of powers and to rein in the administrative state.
