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.



Great post at redstate on why judicial activism is wrong:

This quote sums it up best:
"What judges give, judges can take away, and since they can easily give us new rights, they can just as easily take them away. And that's why the radical left is hysterical with fear right now. "
