Harvard Federalist Society

We are looking forward to welcoming Sarah Isgur to our campus next week! @whignewtons

Members of the Chapter recently took a trip to NYC to visit Simpson Thacher, Sullivan & Cromwell, and Judge Menashi of the Second Circuit. Thank you to our gracious hosts and all of those who participated!

The spring semester is off to a great start for the Harvard Federalist Society. Thanks to Russell Balikian (Gibson Dunn, D.C.) and many other speakers who helped kick off the new year!

Special thanks to Judge David Stras (CA8) for joining our chapter to discuss the intersection of state constitutions and federal law.

Our new Board is excited for the year ahead!

HLS FedSoc is off to an exciting start. Over the past weeks, we have been joined by Fmr. Assistant AG Steven A. Engel, Sam Whiting, Prof. Stephen Sachs, the Institute for Justice, and George Mason Prof. Jack Kieffaber. Looking forward to more lunch talks to come.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Pizza in the Park this afternoon!

Thank you to former OLC head Steven A. Engel and to Prof. Jack Goldsmith for moderating a fantastic discussion on OLC and the scope of Article II!

Last semester’s lunch talks ended with rooms full of students eager to learn. We can’t wait to kick off our spring programming today!

We are so excited for our debate this afternoon! Thank you @JonathanTurley and Professor Kennedy for your participation. And thank you @Steamboat_Inst, @HAFFS_Harvard and Adolph Coors Foundation for sponsoring this event. Resolved, Harvard supports free speech.

Last week we were able to host @ToddZywicki and @StephenESachs for a discussion on law and economics. Today, after a nice fall break, we reconvened to hear from Judge Newsom and Alana Frederick. We are very grateful to all of our speakers for taking the time to speak to us.

We are very excited to host Erin Hawley of @ADFLegal to speak to our chapter this afternoon! We hope many will join us to hear about her impressive career and the current state of the pro-life movement.

It was a privilege to cosponsor today’s October 7th Memorial Vigil alongside Alliance for Israel, Jewish Law Student’s Association, @HarvardChabad, @HarvardHillel, Harvard Faculty for Israel, and @HarvardJews. We mourn with you.

We were honored to host Judge Bumatay to speak this past Friday. He had great insights to share on the original meaning of the Fourth Amendment. Our chapter is looking forward to another exciting week of programming ahead!

We had an amazing time last weekend! Thank you @JamesWilsonInst for a great event.

We are excited to host Judge Bibas and Professor Greiner for a lunch talk today. They will be speaking about access to justice, originalism, and civil procedure. We look forward to what is sure to be an engaging conversation!

We are excited to welcome Athie Livas to campus today! Join us to hear about clerking and appellate litigation from a rising star in the conservative legal movement.

We had another great lunch consisting of delicious Chick-Fil-A and rigorous intellectual debate. Thank you Judge Nalbandian and Professor Stephenson for spending the afternoon with us!

Standing room only speaker events, a new Board, and social activities galore, our year is off to a promising start!

We have a highly anticipated lunch talk today! We are excited to hear from @IJ’s Jeff Redfern and Harvard’s own @StephenESachs. We hope to see many of you there!
