The Atypical Student Society (ATYPS) strives to make the legal field – from law school to employment – easier for neuroatypical people to navigate. ATYPS aims to provide a supportive community for atypical and neurodivergent students and their neurotypical allies.

Through these organizations, students also make a significant contribution to the Washington, D.C. community.

The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a group of conservatives and libertarians interested in the current state of the legal system. It is based on the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is at the heart of our Constitution and that it is absolutely the competence and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be. The Company strives both to promote awareness of these principles and to promote their application through its activities. This means reorganising priorities within the legal system to give high priority to individual freedom, traditional values and the rule of law. It also requires recognition of the importance of these standards among lawyers, judges and law professors.
To achieve these goals, the company has created a conservative intellectual network that extends to all levels of the legal community.
