WHO WE ARE: 

• Founded in 1982, the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a group of conservatives and libertarians dedicated to reforming the current legal order. We are committed to 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 duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be.
• By providing a forum for legal experts of opposing views to interact with members of the legal profession, the judiciary, law students, academics, and the architects of public policy, the Society has redefined the terms of legal debate.
• The Society is a membership organization that includes thousands of law students, legal professionals, and legal academics throughout the country.  

WHERE YOU’LL WORK:

We are located in the heart of the District of Columbia, three blocks from the White House and across the street from the Farragut West Metro Station.

Our office observes a hybrid schedule, with required in-office work on Tuesdays-Thursdays and remote work opportunities on Mondays and Fridays.

This position reports directly to the Vice President, Student Chapters.
