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.



Senator John COrnynhas already taken steps to limit the damage that coud result from the dreadful Kelo decision. Cornyn has introduced a bill that would prohibit the use of federal funds in construction projects that acquired property under the false use of eminent domain exhibited and approved by the Court in Kelo. Please contact your home state Senators and Representatives and encourage them to sponsor and fast track this important legislation.
