Freedom. Limited Government. Judicial Restraint.
What We Stand For
Our Principles
Freedom
The state exists to preserve freedom.
Limited Government
The separation of powers is central to our Constitution.
Judicial Restraint
It is the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be.
Founded
Founded in 1982, our chapter was one of the first three chapters of the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies.
Who We Are
The Harvard Federalist Society is a group of conservative and libertarian law students. Our chief goal is to foster balanced and open debate on the fundamental principles of individual freedom, limited government, and judicial restraint.
