The Federalist Society’s Practice Group members are grouped by substantive area of law. Every Practice Group has an Executive Committee that meets once a month. These volunteers help track major developments in their area of expertise and direct the content and programming of the Practice Group. They organize events including FedSoc Forums, in person programs, and panels for several single day conferences like the annual Executive Branch Review Conference. Executive Committee members regularly author blog posts and articles featured in FedSoc’s Publications. They also help plan and present FedSoc’s flagship annual conference, the National Lawyers Convention.
