UChicago Law alumnus and Former Judge David Tatel of the D.C. Circuit will be coming to speak to ACS about his career in law, his time on the bench, and his new book.

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.

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. 

Join OutLaw, HLBA, and ACS for an early breakfast at the Law School listening to Oral Arguments for the Transgender Healthcare Ban case - United States v. Skrmetti

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.

Featuring:

David Pepper, Author, Saving Democracy and Laboratories of Autocracy; Former Chairman, Ohio Democratic Party

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