This e-board meeting was to further discuss plans for different events this semester. We also finalized what each of us needed to do for our involvement in a Constitution Day event.
Intro General Body Meeting
This event is the first General Body Meeting for ACS 2025-2026. This will involve introductions of the new board and then a kickoff with a discussion with our law school dean, Gerald Dickinson, who will take questions and lead a discussion about current hot topic constitutional questions. Students do not have to RSVP.
How to 1L: Briefing, Note-Taking, and Time Management
This is the first event in Penn Carey Law ACS's 2025-2026 "How to 1L" series. The event serves as an introduction to Penn's ACS chapter and will feature academic guidance for incoming 1L students. After an introduction from the chapter Presidents and a lecture from our Directors of Professional Development, 1Ls will enjoy a Q+A session with a panel of upper-level students. Topics will include notetaking, reading strategies, and early tips for exam preparation. This event will not feature any external speakers, nor will it be connected to any co-sponsors.
ACS Fall Faculty Workshop Kick-Off Lecture: Nicholas Parrillo
Nicholas Parrillo is Townsend Professor of Law at Yale, with a secondary appointment as Professor of History. At YLS, Professor Parrillo teaches Administrative Law and courses on American Legal History. He will present his article “Nondelegation, Original Meaning, and Early Federal Taxation: A Dialogue With My Critics.”
A.A.R.P./W.M.M. v. Trump A Constitutional Clash Over Immigration
ACS at Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law is teaming up with the International Law Society at Mississippi College School of Law for an important and timely discussion on A.A.R.P./W.M.M. v. Trump. This landmark case challenges the President's use of a rarely invoked 1798 law, the Alien Enemies Act (AEA), to expedite the deportation of Venezuelan migrants the Trump administration asserts are members of Tren de Aragua and pose a threat of "invasion" or "predatory incursion" to the United States. The plaintiffs include Venezuelan migrants detained both in U.S. facilities and in the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador. Their central argument is that the administration's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, and the subsequent summary removal procedures, violate fundamental due process rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. We welcome you to join our discussion on constitutional and national security law issues posed by this case, an analysis on traditional habeas cases versus the type of habeas petition brought in this suit, and a comparison on how other nations handle similar threats.
Associate Dean Brian Ward - Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law,
Professor Daniel Maurer - Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law,
