Join ACS for Cups of Counsel—an informal general interest meeting designed for conversation and collaboration. Meet fellow progressive law students, learn about our mission and upcoming events, and find out how you can get involved.
Kickoff Lunch
This lunch event will serve as an introduction to Michigan Law's ACS Student Chapter. It will feature a welcome from our faculty advisor, Barb McQuade, and our new co-presidents, and a discussion about the organization's history, how to get involved, and what our members envision for the coming year.
Immigration Enforcement & Detention Under Trump
ACS and ACLU of Georgetown University Law Center present Immigration Enforcement & Detainment Under Trump: Constitutionality, Impacts, and Fighting Back, Monday 9/15 at 5:00pm in Gewirz 12.
Please join ACLU of DC Staff Attorney, Aditi Shah, Clinical Teaching Fellow and Supervising Attorney at the Center for Applied Legal Studies, Sophia Genovese, and Counsel with the House Judiciary Committee, Julie Fattal, for a panel discussing a range of topics on the ongoing increased enforcement of immigration policies under the Second Trump Administration.
Questions about inhumane detainment conditions of migrants including in facilities such as "Alligator Alcatraz," civil challenges to executive orders and immigration policies in the wake of Trump v. CASA, and many others are on many of our student body's mind as we ask those in the immigration law and policy world: what can be done?
Pizza will be served! Any accommodations requests can be sent to georgetownacs@georgetown.edu.
ACS Northwestern: "ACS Fall Kickoff"
ACS Northwestern plans on hosting a fall kickoff event to inform the 1Ls who we are, what our purpose is, and what our values are. We are putting together a presentation as Executive Board Members of our school's chapter to all present at the meeting. We do not plan on having a speaker. We plan on allotting time for socializing after the presentation to encourage network and building friendships with fellow progressive law students. We would like to have food available to encourage attendance.
How to 1L: Introduction to Law School
Description provided:
Welcome to 1L! For those who are lost in the sea of readings and conflicting advice, ACS is happy to provide some guidance in How To 1L.
Join us on Monday, September 15th at 3:00 PM at Fitts Auditorium to grab some Levain cookies and discover the variety of successful strategies used by past and present Penn ACS board members. This event is the first in a series that will occur periodically throughout your first year, and will focus on how to write case briefs, handle your readings, and prepare for cold calls.
After an initial info-session with slides and general guidance, a panel of 2Ls and 3Ls will answer questions and provide professor-specific advice in a Q+A session.
