ACS is engaged in a multi-year initiative, the Constitution in the 21st Century, to promote positive, much-needed change in our legal and policy landscape. The project brings together scholars and practitioners to formulate and advance a progressive vision of our Constitution and laws that is intellectually sound, practically relevant and faithful to our constitutional values and heritage. The centerpiece of the project is a series of issue groups focused on discrete areas of law and policy, through which a wide range of members will develop, communicate and popularize progressive ideas through papers, conferences and media outreach.

Further information about the Constitution in the 21st Century project is available. To get involved in the work of any of its issue groups, please fill out the Issue Group Sign-Up Form.

Currently, the project's issue groups include:

• Access to Justice;
• Constitutional Interpretation and Change;
• Criminal Justice;
• Democracy and Voting;
• Economic, Workplace and Environmental Regulation;
• Equality and Liberty;
• First Amendment;
• Separation of Powers and Federalism; and
• International Law and the Constitution Working Group.

The ACS Publications Library features a variety of materials, including ACS issue briefs, our various panel transcripts and law review articles, presenting substantive law and policy analysis on a range of topics including executive power; judicial nominations; federalism; and the Establishment Clause.
