More about ACS:

The American Constitution Society (ACS) is a progressive legal organization focused on ensuring the law serves as a force for democracy, public interest, and improving people's lives. It aims to realize the promises of the Constitution by building a diverse legal community dedicated to defending democracy, equity, liberty, access to justice, and the rule of law. ACS has a large network of student and lawyer chapters across the United States and works to shape debates on key legal and public policy issues.

The mission of ACS is 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.

The ACS Chicago Lawyer Chapter invites all to our Inaugural Book Club Meeting. We will be discussing our Legal Legends Luncheon keynote speaker Eli Mystal's new book: Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America. Please join us for a great discussion and networking experience.

Space is limited so please RSVP as soon as possible. 

At the WashU Law School’s Club Fair, ACS welcomes incoming 1Ls and introduces them to our mission, upcoming events, and ways to get involved. Our table features a visually engaging display highlighting ACS’s work and values, along with candy to create a warm, approachable atmosphere for new students exploring student organizations.

Democracy Deferred: Territories, Rights, and the Constitution will explore the enduring legacy of the Insular Cases. These cases continue to shape life, law, and citizenship in the U.S. territories. This Social Justice Monday event invites students, legal professionals, and community members to engage with the ongoing impact of these cases on constitutional rights, identity, and sovereignty.

Our discussion will be grounded in the experiences of Indigenous and islander communities. We will examine how the legal framework established during colonial expansion continues to impact us today. 

Join us as we begin the year in dialogue with history, the law, and each other.
