Welcome to the Federalist Society at Penn Law School!

The Federalist Society is one of the most vibrant, fun, and intellectually engaging organizations at Penn.  If you are interested in learning more about and engaging with today’s most pressing legal and public policy issues, please spend some time with us. 

We are an organization of ideas and relationships.  While we do stand behind some foundational principles of the law, rather than merely propping up any one set of pre-established beliefs, we seek to ensure that the Penn community benefits from considering the best arguments on both sides of any issue.  That is why we are committed to hosting debates and panels as our primary activities. 

We are also interested in building strong relationships among our members.  In addition to simply socializing together at events, our group strives to serve as a resource—particularly to 1Ls and 2Ls—for helping everyone succeed in classes, in journal competitions, and in obtaining top legal jobs and clerkships. In this effort, we begin with a unique position of strength given the Federalist Society’s vast and loyal network of prominent Justices, Judges, attorneys, and scholars. 

We welcome you to join us!
