Constitutional lawyer, Grant Strobl, will discuss “federalism” at the Eastside Republican Club Forum, 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 18, at The War Memorial, 32 Lake Shore Rd., Grosse Pointe Farms.

“I am excited to welcome my son, Grant, to speak in our community,” his mom, Renee Strobl, newly elected chair of the Eastside Republican Club, said in a statement.

“The principle of federalism is the basis for power sharing between the sovereign states and our national government. I believe every citizen should be aware how we benefit from this division of power and responsibility,” she said.

Forum doors open at 7 p.m. for coffee and networking in advance of the meeting. The public is invited at no charge.

Grant Strobl is the son of Donald and Renee Strobl of Grosse Pointe Shores, a 2014 graduate of Grosse Pointe North High School and currently an attorney litigating constitutional and administrative law questions before state and federal courts. He also authors legal opinions and advises state agencies.

The Grosse Pointe native has been an activist for common-sense, conservative ideas since he was a student at Grosse Pointe North.

While a student at the U-M Ann Arbor, Strobl led several initiatives. Most notably, in 2016 he led the drive to oppose the university’s gender pronoun mandate by choosing “His Majesty” as his identity, which prompted thousands of his peers to join the protest by choosing similarly absurd identities.

From 2017 to 2023, Strobl served as the National Chairman of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), a project of Young America’s Foundation for which he continues as member of the YAF board of governors.

Strobl earned a Juris Doctor degree, with honors, from the University of Chicago Law School and has clerked for two U.S. Court of Appeals judges: Judge Edith H. Jones for the Fifth Circuit and Judge David J. Porter for the Third Circuit.

Strobl currently lives with his wife in suburban New Orleans.

Views he espouses are his own and do not necessarily represent those of his employer.
