About the Organization

The Society for the Rule of Law is a nonprofit, nationwide membership organization for attorneys, law students, and others who are dedicated to protecting and preserving the Constitution and America’s liberal-democratic norms, laws, and institutions. Our leadership and membership are made up primarily of conservative, libertarian, or center-right legal professionals, though our organization is open to people of all ideological persuasions and career tracks.

Our work focuses on building a community of lawyers, and others, with a principled commitment to preserving the rule of law, the Constitution, and American democracy against illiberal threats, whether they arise on the right or the left. Our goal is to offer a pipeline for the next generation of pro-rule of law legal talent, opportunities for networking and education, and a voice of clarity on the relevant issues of the day.

We are led by Executive Director Gregg Nunziata, a veteran of the conservative legal movement and former Chief Nominations Counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Our board of directors and charter membership include prominent conservative, libertarian, and center-right attorneys, including nationally-known academics, retired judges, and former senior Justice Department appointees and White House lawyers.
