Federalist Society (FED SOC)

The Federalist Society fosters critical thought and debate about the application of conservative principles found in the law and embraces the principle that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to the integrity of the Constitution of the United States of America, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is not what it should be.

About: The Federalist Society was born on the law school campuses of Harvard, Chicago, and Yale to provide a forum for debate and discussion. The Federalist Society’s Student Division continues to be the premier ideas-driven student organization on over two hundred law school campuses nationwide. Many law school faculty and administrators have come to celebrate the Society for the high quality of discourse it brings to their campuses. Student Division programming fosters a network of conservative and libertarian students eager to challenge the legal establishment as lawyers, faculty, judges, and policymakers.
