Federalist Society

The Federalist Society is a national group of conservatives and libertarians interested in the current state of the legal order, founded on the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to the Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be. It seeks to promote an awareness of these principles and further their application through its activities. It also requires restoring the recognition of the importance of these norms among lawyers, judges, and law professors.
