What is the Federalist Society?
The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a
Washington, D.C.-based, nationwide, nonpartisan group of conservative and
libertarian attorneys, law students, and others who seek to promote individual
rights, free markets, traditional values, and the rule of law through debate,
education and public policy. Federalist
Society chapters exist throughout the United States and list as their
members prominent members of the legal community and the judiciary. The Federalist Society is founded upon the
principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that separation of
governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically
the province of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what the law should
be. In working to achieve the goal of
promoting greater awareness of these principles, the Society has created an
intellectual network that extends to all levels of the legal community.
What is the Hartford Chapter?
The Hartford Chapter is a local chapter of the
Federalist Society. Formed in 1996, it
has presented numerous discussions and debates featuring locally and nationally
prominent speakers and leaders from a broad diversity of perspectives on key
legal and public policy issues of our day.
The Chapter provides a forum for lawyers and others interested in public
policy to meet to discuss issues concerning the state of the law and the legal
order.
