The Rule of Law in Elections

The Society for the Rule of Law is the premier conservative legal organization dedicated to protecting and promoting the rule of law in America today. Originally formed in 2018, it is made up of traditionally conservative lawyers and jurists, many of  whom have served at the highest levels of previous Republican administrations, and who are alarmed by the state of today’s conservative legal movement.
