The Federalist Society

Public Policy OfficesDistrict of Columbia, United States51-200 Employees

The Federalist Society is a Washington, DC-based organization that brings together conservatives and libertarians with an interest in the current state of the legal order. It is guided by the view that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to the Constitution, and that it is the judiciary’s job to interpret what the law is. The society seeks to promote awareness and application of these principles, aiming to reorder priorities in the legal system toward individual liberty, traditional values, and the rule of law. It also focuses on restoring recognition of these norms among lawyers, judges, law students, and professors. Through its conservative and libertarian intellectual network, it connects participants across all levels of the legal community. 

Operating within the public policy and legal affairs sector, the organization acts as a conduit for conservative and libertarian legal thought, organizing and participating in conferences and seminars that surface its ideas. Recent activity indicates ongoing engagement with the broader legal community through national and regional events. Historical reporting notes a partnership with the White House in 2020 regarding the placement of members into appellate seats.
