The Federalist Society's National Lawyers Convention is an annual gathering that brings together legal professionals, scholars, and students to discuss pressing legal issues and developments. Organized by the Federalist Society, a prominent conservative and libertarian legal organization, the 2022 convention took place from November 10 to 12 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C.
The 2022 convention centered on the theme "The Current State of the Legal Profession," featuring four showcase sessions that delved into topics such as the legal profession's role in constitutional culture, the mission of law schools, the adversarial system's relationship with social justice, and the regulatory power of bar associations. Additionally, eighteen breakout sessions covered a wide array of subjects, including antitrust and patent systems, competition and innovation policy, and the major questions doctrine.
Attendees had the opportunity to participate in notable events such as the Fourteenth Annual Rosenkranz Debate, the Twenty-First Annual Barbara K. Olson Memorial Lecture, and the 2022 Antonin Scalia Memorial Dinner. These events provided platforms for engaging discussions and honored significant contributions to the legal field. The convention also offered ample networking opportunities, allowing participants to connect with judges, law clerks, and prominent practitioners.
The convention is particularly beneficial for legal professionals, academics, and students interested in conservative and libertarian perspectives on law and policy. It serves as a platform for intellectual engagement, professional development, and networking within the legal community.
