The Conservative Legal Tradition
The Robert Crown Law Library and the Stanford Federalist Society invite you explore these books from our collection about the conservative legal tradition.
The books listed on this site are only a sampling of the Stanford Libraries' collection. If you would like additional reading recommendations, please reach out to reference@law.stanford.edu.
You are able to check out any book listed on this site! Loan periods and request processing time may vary depending on which campus library the book comes from. But regardless of whether a book is at Green, Law, or any of the other campus libraries, you can request the book by clicking on the green "Request" button for the book in the Searchworks catalog and make an appointment to pick it up in front of the Crown building. Or, if you are unable to pick up material in person or would like to review a section of a publication for longer than the check out period, please request a scan of the section you are interested in. Keep in mind that scan requests are subject to copyright.
About the Federalist Society
The Federalist Society is a group of libertarians and conservatives interested in the current state of the legal order. The Federalist Society promotes the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of powers is central to our constitutional order, and that it is the province of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be.
