The Duke chapter of the Federalist Society is a group of conservative
and libertarian students interested in the current state of legal order.
The Society 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 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. In the past, the group has hosted distinguished
judges and other speakers and has sponsored debates between members
of the academic community. Membership is open to interested students.
