Verbis legis tenaciter inhaerendum.

The University of Texas Federalist Society’s mission is to promote: (1) originalism as the best method of constitutional interpretation, (2) textualism as the best method of statutory interpretation, and (3) a legal system that values individual liberty, traditional values, and the rule of law. In keeping with its conviction that law students should have greater exposure to these ideals, the chapter’s motto is “Debate, Discuss, Decide.”
