The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institution whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies and principles.

The Georgetown Center on the Constitution of Georgetown Law places special emphasis on the debate over the proper methods of constitutional interpretation.

Finally, the GJLPP is a biannual publication by the students of Georgetown Law. The scholarly legal journal concentrates on conservative, libertarian, and natural law thought.

The Symposium will feature numerous notable speakers including former NRA President David Keene, and Second Amendment legal scholar and attorney Stephen Halbrook.
