About the Federalist Society

We are conservative and libertarian students concerned with the current state of our legal system. The Federalist Society was founded on the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be.

Each semester, we work to promote awareness of these principles at UM Law and beyond, through a wide range of activities including speeches and debates, as well as social and networking events. For more information, visit the national Federalist Society website, or contact us.

Here is a NY Times article previewing the oral arguments Wednesday in the pledge of allegiance case. I'd be surprised if the Rehnquist court decides this on anything other than the standing issue. It will be interesting to see how this comes out since Scalia has recused himself from this case.
