Rule of Law Summit 2024
We hosted our second annual Rule of Law Summit on November 13 in Washington, D.C.
The Society for the Rule of Law launched with a simple mission: protect and defend the the Constitution, American democracy, and the rule of law in this moment of maximum danger.
As part of that mission, we held the second annual Rule of Law Summit. This exclusive, in-person-only event, showcased keynote speeches, panel discussions, debates, and remarks from some of the nation’s leading legal minds.
The Summit served as a networking event like no other, drawing legal-minded professionals from around the country, representing all walks of life and political persuasions.
