since Mr. Roberts is one of these, it's useful
to know about this conservative organization
and its principles.

Established: 1982 by a group of right-wing law students
Executive Director: Eugene Meyer
Finances: $3 million (2000 income for their C-3 foundation)
Membership: The FS Lawyers Division has 25,000 legal professionals: Student Division has more than 5,000 law students at 145 law schools, 60 metropolitan lawyers chapters, 15 nationwide practice groups, and a new Faculty Division with unpublished membership numbers.

Federalist Society's Principal Issues:

FS hopes to transform the American legal system by developing and promoting far-right positions and influencing who will become judges, top government officials, and decision-makers. FS is “dedicated to reforming the current legal order.”

The FS is an well established network of right-wing lawyers, politicians, pundits, and judges.

Many members of the FS advocate a rollback of civil rights measures, reproductive choice, and generally support conservative morality being enshrined in federal and state laws. FS advocates school vouchers.

In FS’s guide to forming and running a chapter of the society, FS says it “creates an informal network of people with shared views which can provide assistance in job placement.”

FS has 15 different “practice groups” that focus on particular legal issues, such as civil rights and labor and employment law.
