Panel on Immigration Attorneys and Organizers

ACS is partnering with Public Interest Law Association to host a Panel on Immigration Attorneys and Organizers. The purpose is to expose students to the work that immigration attorneys and organizers do, especially looking at how that work will change under this new administration. We want to provide a space for people interested in the immigration clinic or immigration law broadly, people who want to know more about the overlap with activists, and those concerned about the future of immigrant rights.

America’s Hidden Constitutional Crisis: Nonpartisan Stream & Cane's

Please join us for a free lunch while we stream the prior held nonpartisan program about the threat of an imminent call by the states for a new Constitutional Convention under Article V and its potential dramatic impact on every aspect of life.

We will be joined at the event by Dean Joseph Kearney to hear his thoughts on the event and the topic. We will provide Raising Cane's while we watch ACS President Russ Feingold speak about his co-authored book on the subject The Constitution in Jeopardy: An Unprecedented Effort to Rewrite Our Fundamental Law and What We Can Do About It, which was followed by a panel featuring Prof. Ron Lee, Ph.D. (Rockford University), Prof. Evan Bernick (Northern Illinois University College of Law), Dean Joseph D. Kearney (Marquette Law School), and Prof. Carolyn Shapiro (IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law). We are proud to present this important panel in a low-key, accessible room with good food and good discussion. We hope to see you there!
