Student Chapters

About

The American Constitution Society is the nation’s foremost progressive legal organization, with nearly 250 student and lawyer chapters in almost every state and law school. Through a diverse nationwide network of progressive lawyers, students, judges, scholars and many others, we work to support and advocate for laws and legal systems that redress the founding failures of our Constitution, strengthen our democratic legitimacy, uphold the rule of law, and realize the promise of equality for all, including people of color, women, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, and other historically excluded communities. Our chapters hold over 1,000 public programs across the country each year, generating “intellectual capital” for ready use by progressive allies and shaping debates on key legal and public policy issues.

ACS also works to cultivate the next generation of progressive leaders. We use our extensive national network to assist our members with career development, mentorship, and job assistance. Our members get access to job banks, special conference calls, and the opportunity to network with progressive leaders throughout the country.
