Federalist Society

The Federalist Society is a network of lawyers, judges, and legal scholars in the United States who advocate for a originalist interpretation of the Constitution and limited government. Founded in 1982, it aims to promote conservative and libertarian legal principles, influence legal education, and shape judicial appointments. The Society hosts events, publishes articles, and provides a platform for discussions on law and public policy. It has gained significant influence, particularly in the nomination of judges, and plays a key role in shaping the legal landscape in the U.S. through its emphasis on free markets and individual liberty.
