Navigating Clerkships as a Progressive Student

Join NYU's chapter of the American Constitution Society (ACS) for a discussion about navigating the clerkship application process as a progressive student. Hear from students with a diverse array of practice area experiences and interests who have secured clerkships with federal district and appellate judges, state supreme court justices, and internationally. Students will answer questions about their general experiences with clerkship applications––particularly planning ahead with letters of recommendations, a writing sample, and managing timing and location expectations––as well as about factors that were important to them as progressive and/or public interest students.

From the front Lines of Voting Rights in Minnesota w/ ACLU MN

Over the course of the past two decades, the ACLU of Minnesota (ACLU-MN) has been working to, among other things, Restore the Vote to Minnesotans on community felony supervision. The result was an extraordinary victory in 2023 when, following a historic ACLU-MN voting rights case, Minnesota enacted legislation restoring the voting rights to more than 55,000 of these individuals. Governor Tim Walz called it the most significant expansion of voting rights in Minnesota in a half-century. Come hear ACLU-MN staff talk about how a culmination of years of what it calls “integrated advocacy” (a combination of strategic activism and organizing, as well as lobbying and litigation) secured this fundamental right. And, perhaps most important, learn about the ways they are working to implement and defend the new law.
