ACS and WLA are happy to welcome Professor Michele Lamont and John Shattuck to discuss the use of narratives in social change.

We are hosting a lunch and learn style event November 9th on death penalty abolition in Kentucky and beyond. We will be screening the film "Racist Roots" (linked here-- https://racistroots.org/film/) and discussing Kentucky stories that mirror the examples included in the film. We are hoping to have members from the Kentucky Coalition for Abolishing the Death Penalty present at our event to discuss Kentucky's abolition movement specifically. We are also partnering with our law school's chapters of Black Law Student Association, American Civil Liberties Union, and Lambda Law Caucus.

Please join the ACS Virginia Lawyer Chapter and the ACS University of Richmond Student Chapter and come help ACS student chapter members celebrate the upcoming end of the semester! Both students (from any ACS chapter) and lawyers are welcome to join and connect with the wider Virginia ACS community in a relaxed setting. ACS will cover up to two drinks for the students, first come first served!

New York Times reporter and author Ian Millhiser spoke to our members on the fallout of Trump v. Hawaii and other notable cases being considered by the Supreme Court.
