Join American University Washington College of Law (WCL) on Wednesday January 31 for lunch (12-1) to learn about the American Constitution Society (ACS), the largest network of progressive students and lawyers in the country. WCL students are forming an ACS Chapter to create a community that promotes progressive legal values, including court reform and countering conservative originalism. 

Thea Cohen, ACS Director of Strategic Engagement, will join us to speak specifically about how ACS can help students secure judicial clerkships and post-grad career opportunities.
