\n\t\t\tUFM
Law & Liberty Circle\t<\/h1>\n\t

In May 2024, Universidad Francisco Marroqu\u00edn signed a memorandum with the International Law & Liberty Society to create the UFM Law & Liberty Circle.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Mission and Principles of ILLS\t<\/h2>\n\t

Inspired by, and in solidarity with, the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies, Inc. (US), the International Law and Liberty Society (“ILLS”) is a multinational network of nonpartisan groups. Its members include lawyers, law students, law faculty, and others interested in current intellectual and practical developments in law and policy, and in improving our present and future leaders’ understanding of the rule of law, natural law, individual liberty, personal responsibility, limited government, separation of powers, judicial restraint, economic freedom, national sovereignty, subsidiarity, and the fundamental freedoms of freedom of conscience and religion, freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression, freedom of peaceful assembly, and freedom of association.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\"UFM_Law\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n The mission of Universidad Francisco Marroqu\u00edn is to teach and disseminate the ethical, legal, and economic principles of a society of free and responsible persons.\n\n

\n\t\t\tUFM Law & Liberty Circle Purpose\t<\/h2>\n\t

The purpose of the UFM Law & Liberty Circle is to foster critical thought and debate among students, lawyers, law professors, and any others interested in exploring the historical foundations of the rule of law and constitutionalism, and their application to current intellectual and practical developments in law and policy.<\/p>\n

All activities of the UFM Law & Liberty Circle will be conducted in alignment with the UFM mission and the principles of the International Law & Liberty Society.<\/p>\n

The UFM Law & Liberty Circle will function principally as a student-focused program under the guidance of a program director and faculty advisors, and will be accountable to UFM authorities. An advisory council may be formed to provide strategic input.<\/p>\n

Participation in the UFM Law & Liberty Circle is open to any student enrolled at UFM, as well as any interested professor, administrative personnel, or alumnus who affirms their solidarity with and agrees to uphold the mission and philosophy statement of UFM and the mission and principles of the ILLS. Interested professionals and students from other universities in Guatemala and elsewhere may apply to participate. Their request will be decided on by the UFM Law & Liberty Circle Program Director.<\/p>\n
