Volunteer to teach D.C. Public School Students

The D.C. Bar is partnering with the Washington, DC Lawyer Chapter of the American Constitution Society (ACS) to teach DC Public School students lessons about the U.S. Constitution as part of the ACS Constitution in the Classroom program.

To volunteer, complete this form or email citc@dcbar.org by Monday, March 3, 2025, or contact us for more information.

Classes will be taught at the D.C. Bar offices. ACS will provide lessons that are fun, relevant, and age appropriate, but volunteers may teach their own lessons that raise awareness about fundamental constitutional principle.

Gerrymandering, Redistricting, and the Democratic Process

The BYU Law chapter of ACS will be welcoming Michael Li from the Brennan Center for Justice to speak about his research on redistricting and the fight for fair maps. He will discuss how redistricting affected the 2024 election, and highlight what matters for upcoming elections.

Movie Screening and Director Q+A of Sansón and Me

Former court interpreter turned film director, Rodrigo Reyes is inspired to make a documentary about Sansón, an immigrant serving life for first-degree murder, but authorities won’t allow the incarcerated young man to be filmed. In light of this, Sansón’s story is shared through dramatic reenactments of his letters, using members of his own family as actors. It is a rare, insightful look into the workings of our crimmigration system and the relationship between a defendant and his interpreter. Sansón and Me – About the Film

Please join Stanford Latinx Law Students Association, Stanford Journal of Civil Rights & Civil Liberties, and the American Constitution Society at Room 290 for a screening of the film followed by a Q+A with Rodrigo Reyes (film director), Sansón (via telephone), and Kevin Rooney (his appellate attorney). Dinner will be provided to those who RSVP 48 hours before the start of the event.

Co-sponsors: Stanford Journal of Civil Rights & Civil Liberties (SJCRCL); Stanford Latinx Law Students Association (SLLSA)
