First general body meeting of the school year for UW Law's ACS Student Chapter.

First general body meeting for UW-Madison Law.

Join us on Thursday, September 18th at 7:00PM at Franklin Motors for a social hour with other progressive lawyers from UNC Law!

This is a general body meeting to provide members the opportunity to discuss civic involvement during law school and also to get a forecast of Wake Law ACS's year ahead.

Judge Gammage will join us for lunch to discuss expungement, including how he came to start the expungement externship at NDLS and how he came to care so much about expungement as a legal issue, and his pathway to the bench, including his work with the prosecutor's office, the public defender's office, and the City of South Bend.

Join ACS @ "The U" for an Introductory Meeting and a Celebration of Constitution Day!

Constitution Day is celebrated on September 17th each year in the United States to commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution by delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. It's also known as Citizenship Day. The day serves to honor the document that outlines the fundamental laws and rights of the nation and to acknowledge the importance of U.S. citizenship. 

Join Minnesota Law in celebrating the day with fun! Also, learn more about ACS at Minnesota Law School, our events and how you can get involved.
