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.

Set aside the fact that Harriet Miers is completely unqualified to be a Supreme Court Justice (9 trials in a 30 year career?). Let's even assume that she is as conservative as any conservative could want her to be. After all that has gone on with this nomination, does anyone really believe that his woman could write a coherent opinion? Do we really want this person articulating standards of constitutional law that we will have to try and apply in our careers? I don't.
