The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies

  •  The Federalist Society at Capital University Law School seeks to:

    • Serve as an organization of conservatives and libertarians concerned with the state of the law and founded upon the principles that government exists to preserve individual freedom
    • Affirm the belief that the separation of governmental powers is central to the Constitution of the United States and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what the law should be.
    • Promote an awareness of its principles and to further the application of such principles through the organization's activities.
