ACS invites all students to join us for our November General Body Meeting, followed by a fall cookie exchange and mini pumpkin painting!

Vince Warren, the Executive Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, will join HRLS and ACS to discuss his career, the CCR’s work, and democratic decline in the United States.

Co-sponsored event with LALSA focusing on the general state of immigration law and the intricacies of the due process clause as it relates to undocumented people (i.e. the difference between an administrative and judicial warrant, the visa process, etc.) with Becky VonTrapp, Brett Stokes, and alumni from the Vermont Asylum Project as speakers.

A lunch talk about the New York State Solicitor General's Office, with a former appellate attorney for that office. There will be one featured speaker, Brian D. Ginsberg chair of the appellate practice group at Harris Beach Murtha Cullina PLLC.

Featuring Professor Katie Ciorba VonDeLinde of the Brown School of Social Work, alongside an experienced practicing attorney, the discussion will highlight the unique stressors lawyers face and practical strategies for building resilience.

In addition to addressing burnout prevention and work–life balance, the speakers will discuss the phenomenon of “sliming”—when advocates absorb the stress, trauma, or emotional weight of their clients’ experiences.

Students will leave with insights on recognizing and navigating these challenges, as well as the value of supportive communities, healthy boundaries, and sustainable practices. Lunch will be served.
