The Samuel Griffith Society was founded by former Chief Justice Sir Harry Gibbs, John Stone and others in 1992. Named after Sir Samuel Griffith, one of the architects of the Australian Constitution, the society describes its prime role: "... to ensure that proposals to change the Australian Constitution will be subjected to the most intense scrutiny." It holds annual conferences and publishes an annual journal of conference proceedings entitled "Upholding the Australian Constitution".
It is one of a number of groups including the H. R. Nicholls Society, Bennelong Society and Lavoisier Group, promoted by Australian business leader and political activist Ray Evans.
