01What it does

What Society for the Rule of Law and Democracy Inc does

Mission

Society for the rule of law and democracy, inc. Will provide a forum for conservative and libertarian-inclined lawyers, and like-minded members of the legal community, committed to advancing constitutional principles, democracy, legal norms, and the rule of law in the united states without regard to party or persons in power. The society will discuss, debate, analyze, study, write, hold conferences, and otherwise communicate regarding these american ideals.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. The society continued to expand its membership base through regular outreach. Our members and leadership were featured in the press discussing themes related to democracy and the rule of law, including through op-eds, letters to the editor, tv, podcast, and radio appearances, and quotes in relevant news stories. We held regular virtual and in-person programming on relevant themes, including the state of the judiciary, separation of powers, and more. Members also signed amicus briefs on similar themes and published original content on the society's website. And the society joined outside organizations in some cases to publish open-letters or other communications related to the rule of law.

Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
