The Federalist Society is a non-partisan conservative and libertarian organization dedicated to fostering balanced and open debate about the fundamental principles of freedom, federalism, and judicial restraint.
The
Federalist Society seeks to educate the legal community through its programs
and publications about how limited constitutional government based on the rule
of law can have a positive effect on law and public policy.
“Teachers and students must always
remain free to inquire, to study and
to evaluate, to gain new maturity
and understanding; otherwise our
civilization will stagnate and die.”
Sweezy v. New Hampshire, 1957
At Whittier
Law School our Student Chapter strives to uphold the mission statement of The
Federalist Society and facilitate a forum for open discussion on topics that
affect the legal community. We are a
group that studies both law and public policy through lunchtime discussions,
debates, panels, and speaking engagements.
We are the only organization on campus that creates events for student,
lawyers, and faculty to gather and discuss issues openly.
