1. FUN!
   Whether it's our social events at Henry's or wine tasting trips with the Stanford Feds, debates, outlines, or job contacts, the Federalist Society is a fun alternative to the usual law school routine.
   
   
2. Federalist Society events WILL BROADEN YOUR MIND.
   There is no better path to a poor legal education and narrow mind than to deprive yourself of considering conservative and libertarian viewpoints on legal issues. Federalist Society events will allow you to explore -- and challenge -- conservative and libertarian views on policy and legal matters. This is true no matter what your personal political/ideological leanings may be. We have members of all stripes!
   
   
3. OUR DEBATES are timely and down right exciting.
   Each semester we host several debates between nationally-renowned legal scholars, including Boalt faculty. We are the only organization at Boalt that hosts debates rather than presenting only one-sided discussions.
   
   
4. OUR LUNCHTIME SPEAKERS SERIES keeps you well-fed and educated.
   We regularly host guest speakers to lead us in informal discussions on legal and public policy issues. Topics have included splitting the 9th Circuit, permanently abolishing the State Bar, alternatives to law-making by initiative,originalist interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, the ineffectiveness of gun control laws, school vouchers, and the over-federalization of crimes, inter alia.
   
   
5. We host a ONE-OF-A-KIND WORKSHOP FOR 1-Ls, "Tips to the Good Life at Boalt."
   Orientation doesn't give 1-L's an adequate opportunity to hear from 2- and 3Ls on law school life. Early each fall semester, we host an informal workshop led by 2- and 3L members on tips to law school fun and success, however defined. This is the only orientation event where you will get the real, honest, un-politically correct scoop from people who have been there and kicked ass.
   
   
6. JOBS, CLERKSHIPS, JOBS, CLERKSHIPS, did I mention--JOBS!
   The Federalist Society -- not Career Services -- receives job notices from Federalist alums, including judges. We also are starting a collection of fellowship and clerkship information, and contacts at non-profit legal organizations interested in employing Federalist Society students. The National Federalist Society also provides internships and fellowships for student members.
   
   
7. OUTLINE BANK
   A plethora of outlines is available to members in paper and on disk.
   
   
8. The Society has LEADERSHIP POSITIONS AVAILABLE.
   Committee positions are available – 1-Ls included.
   
   
9. We are well supported by the NATIONAL FEDERALIST SOCIETY, with contacts always available to discuss jobs, internships, career options, law school survival, and anything else that may come to mind.
   
   
10. CONTROL YOUR EDUCATION! As a member, YOU decide what speakers and events will come to Boalt Hall. Want to learn more about Article III, the medical marijuana debate, or the Patriot Act? Use the Federalist Society to invite someone to speak on the issue!
