On June 11-12, the Federalist Society hosted a major conference on COVID-19 & the Law. The conference consisted of six panels covering a range of legal issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Each panel was presented as a webinar and livestreamed to the public.
Does the Constitution limit the power of the federal government during emergencies just as it does under usual circumstances?
Alida Kass explores how California's AB-5 law, which mandates that most workers be considered "employees" rather than "independent contractors," compares to other states and the issues that it may raise for workers.
The coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic and the response from all levels of government have given rise to numerous questions on various legal and public policy issues. Visit The Federalist Society's COVID-19 and the Law page to view all of our content related to the pandemic.
What is the National Popular Vote Compact and how would it affect the election of the president? Does the popular vote violate the Constitution’s ban on interstate compacts?
As one of the first states to repeal its abortion statute before Roe v. Wade legalized abortion, New York in particular spurred the genesis of sophisticated argumentation for and against legalized abortion. Why did New York legalize abortion through the legislature and not through the courts?
Whenever law enforcement performs a custodial interrogation of a suspect in the United States, it always begins with the reading of “Miranda warnings,” starting with “the right to remain silent.” Where does "the right to remain silent" originate? Paul Cassell investigates Miranda v. Arizona’s iconic and controversial Miranda warnings.
Christina Sandefur explores whether certificate of need laws have successfully controlled costs or if they have hindered the competition required to balance healthcare prices.
What is the Federalist Society? Students, lawyers, and faculty describe how their ideas about the law and their careers have been shaped by being a part of the Federalist Society.

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 via conference call. These volunteers help direct the efforts of the Practice Group: they organize events, including Teleforum calls, in person programs, and the panels for the Federalist Society’s flagship event, our National Lawyers Convention.
