Don't Get Conned
While the American Constitution Society (ACS) student chapter at Georgia State University College of Law is best known for hosting programming on constitutional law and public policy, the chapter also seeks to foster a strong intellectual and professional community within the law school. Academic planning plays an important role in shaping students’ legal education, yet many 1Ls approach 2L course registration with limited information about how different classes, professors, and co-curricular opportunities fit together.
To support students during this transition, the ACS student chapter at Georgia State University College of Law is hosting an informal advising session where 1Ls can connect with 2Ls and 3Ls to discuss course selection and planning for the upcoming academic year. Upper-class students will share their experiences and offer practical guidance on choosing professors and courses, balancing workload, and getting involved in journals, clinics, and other experiential opportunities.
By creating space for peer-to-peer mentorship, ACS hopes to help students make more informed decisions about their legal education while strengthening the collaborative culture of the law school community.
National Origins and the Limits of Refuge: Law, Culture, and the Voyage of the St. Louis
On June 17, 1939, a ship carrying over 900 Jewish refugees was forced back to Europe, its passengers' fate sealed by isolationist policy and the 1924 National Origins Act. Join us for a powerful exploration of the MS St. Louis and the legal landscape of asylum law. We will trace the journey of refugees from the Nazi regime to the shores of Florida, revealing how U.S. policy shaped a humanitarian tragedy. Then, we will pivot to the present day: How has the law changed? What does "asylum" mean in 2026? Join JLSA, CLLSA, ACS, SBA and Professors Daniel Gilfillan and Karina Ordenz for a candid conversation on history, law, and the enduring quest for a safe place to land.
