Communications and Membership Manager

The Society for the Rule of Law is a network of attorneys, law students, and public-spirited individuals united under a shared belief in the rule of law, individual rights, and civil discourse. Rooted in the principles of the U.S. Constitution, the organization champions free speech, a free press, separation of powers, and limited government. Aiming to uphold the integrity of the criminal justice system and the resiliency of the American experiment, the Society serves as a platform for like-minded individuals to engage in meaningful dialogue and promote these ideals. Members are encouraged to uphold these foundational principles, regardless of political affiliations.

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.
