Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies, The

Washington, DC 20036

The heavily-funded Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a growing network of law students, alumni and attorneys devoted to the spread of conservative legal principles. The Society, founded by two Yale law school students in the early 1980s, received $1.6 million in grants (from 1992-1994) to support its efforts to transform the legal profession, which it sees as "currently dominated by a form of liberal orthodoxy [advocating] a centralized and uniform society."
