ACS will be hosting a listening session for the oral arguments of United States v. Skrmetti on December 4, 2024 in front of the U.S. Supreme Court. We will provide breakfast for attendees.

Please join the ACS Northeast Ohio Chapter for a virtual post-election townhall regarding prospects for progressive change and what we can do to help rebuild progressive momentum at the state and local level. Under lockstep conservative governance for much of the last three decades, Ohio has declined in education (35th out of 50 states), health (47th in health care value), and population growth (48th). The question is: what we can do to turn this around?

During the townhall, we will discuss:

• The results of the 2024 election in Ohio at the state and local levels and what those results portend for the next 2 – 4 years.

• Gerrymandering and the corporate capture of our state and local institutions.

• Bright spots across the state.

• Opportunities for progress – how getting involved at the state and local level can make a massive difference and how to get involved.

This term the Supreme Court will hear arguments regarding whether a state which bans certain healthcare for transgender youth, but allows that same healthcare for cisgender youth, violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. This panel will feature scholars and practicing attorneys to discuss how the case got to this point, what is at stake with this decision, what are the issues in the case, and how it fits into the Supreme Court's jurisprudence.

We hosted a panel to help 1Ls prepare for exams.

The Emory Chapter of The American Constitution Society is partnering with Emory’s National Lawyers Guild and Labor & Employment Society to host a lunch and learn panel on changes and in worker’s rights following Supreme Court’s decision to end Chevron deference.

We’ll ask panelists about the changes they’ve noticed this year and what they expect might be different depending on the results of the November election. Panelists include 3L Andrew Hull and Labor Attorneys Daniel P. Murphy, Esq., Professor John Hunt, and Nicolas M. Stanojevich.

The panel will be held on Monday, October 28 at 12:15 in Room 1B of Gambrell Hall at 1301 Clifton Rd NE.

Our hope is that our members will leave with practical information about Labor and Employment Law practice and a stronger understanding of the work of agencies such as the NLRB.
