“We’re very pleased to be hosting Gov. Pataki, who is one of many distinguished guests that the Federalist Society has welcomed to the Law School,” said Allyson Newton, a second-year Law School student and Vice President of the student-run chapter of the Federalist Society. “The Federalist Society is devoted to providing a forum for discussing a diverse set of legal and social policy issues.”
