How can you support ACS and its mission to ensure that fundamental principles of human dignity, individual rights and liberties, genuine equality, and access to justice enjoy their rightful, central place in American law?

• If one does not yet exist in your area, we encourage you to start an ACS student chapter or lawyer chapter. If a chapter does already exist, please attend chapter events and if inclined, reach out to your chapter leadership about organizing a program.

• One of ACS's most important roles is to help cultivate the next generation of progressive leaders. Please make yourself available to mentor a law student or junior lawyer, or to the extent you may be willing to engage even younger audiences, please reach out to your local school district about guest lecturing for Constitution in the Classroom.

• If you'd like to publish short legal commentary, please submit a guest blog piece for ACSBlog, one of the most widely read institutional blogs in the progressive movement. Recent guest bloggers include University of Chicago Law Professor Geoffrey Stone and Human Rights First attorneys Priti Patel and Hina Shamsi, who shared their reflections about quasi-judicial proceedings at Guantanamo Bay.

• If your organization has legal research needs of sufficient complexity to justify academic credit for student writing, please submit a topic to ACS ResearchLink.

• In addition to organizing members geographically, ACS also brings together lawyers with similar areas of legal interest. Please join an ACS Issue Group and attend conferences sponsored by that Issue Group.

• Please consider addressing a chapter about your area of legal expertise. ACS has chapters on over 150 law school campuses, as well as among groups of practicing lawyers in over 25 major market areas. They, as well as our staff responsible for supporting them, are always looking for speakers with insightful reflections on legal and policy topics.

• ACS also widely distributes rigorous legal analysis presented in a short, accessible format including relatively few (if any) footnotes. If a writing project between 15–20 pages appeals to you, please write an ACS Issue Brief, or alternatively, submit an essay or article to the Harvard Law & Policy Review. In addition to sharing Issue Briefs with our members, the press, and a growing network of contacts on Capitol Hill, we also publish selected Issue Briefs in a bound volume twice a year.

• To speak with a member of the ACS staff regarding how you can get involved, please e-mail info@ACSLaw.org.
