STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
- Law schools and the legal
profession are currently strongly dominated by a form of orthodox
liberal ideology which advocates a centralized and uniform society.
While some members of the academic community have dissented from
these views, by and large they are taught simultaneously with (and
indeed as if they were) the law.
-
The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a group
of conservatives and libertarians interested in the current state of
the legal order. It is founded on the principles that the state
exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental
powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically
the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not
what it should be. The Society seeks both to promote an awareness of
these principles and to further their application through its
activities.
-
This entails reordering priorities within the legal system to place
a premium on individual liberty, traditional values, and the rule of
law. It also requires restoring the recognition of the importance of
these norms among lawyers, judges, and law professors. In working to
achieve these goals, the Society has created a conservative
intellectual network that extends to all levels of the legal
community.
-
We here at the Arizona State University Chapter value these above
sentiments, as well as a chance to work on our tans, which is why we
didn't go to Harvard. Well...that and the gene pool in Boston.
