The Federalist Society is Back!

News & Information
The Federalist Society is back, and promises a year packed with interesting speakers, lively debates, and great socials. Ian Hennessey, President, and George Maifair, Vice President for Programming, worked tirelessly over the summer to organize an impressive schedule of events. The fall program will include a debate on terror detainees, a lecture on judicial confirmations, a debate on tort reform, a lecture on libertarianism in Tennessee, and a panel on eminent domain. To take on these highly controversial subjects, the Federalist Society has solicited keen minds from both sides of the issues. This semester’s speakers include John Lott, Jr., Ronald Rotunda, Bob Levy, William Krauss, Steven Eagle, and Michael DeBow. Noel Halpin, Social Chairman, and Alex Johnson, Vice President for Recruitment, have organized an impressive schedule of social events, including a Kickoff Party this Friday, Sept. 9, at Preservation Pub at 9 pm.

In addition to our local events, our chapter will also organize the first ever statewide Tennessee Federalist Convention, tentatively scheduled for early next year at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. At this convention, various speakers will take on controversial Tennessean legal and political topics.

We hope you will find the time to stop by one of our meetings, events or parties. If you are interested, please contact: Alex Johnson (alex61081@hotmail.com) or Ian Hennessey (ihenness@utk.edu).
