ACS at Georgetown Law welcomes you to our first GBM of 2026! We are thrilled to kick off our 25th anniversary and looking forward to sharing our plans for the semester with you all. Food will be served.
ACS GBM Spring 26
ACS Spring general body meeting. This will include enlisting recruits to run the organization next year and promoting our upcoming events.
Free Speech and the First Amendment: A Conversation on Texas v. Johnson
The American Constitution Society and National Lawyers Guild plan to host a discussion about the Texas v. Johnson case and its impact on First Amendment precedent, featuring the defendant of the case, Joey Johnson. All students are welcome to come and listen while enjoying some free food. This event is moderated by Professor Ciara Torres-Spelliscy, a professor and expert in constitutional law and campaign finance.
Above the Law? Immigration Enforcement, Accountability, and the Constitution
Attorney and Professor Juan Rocha will discuss whether immigration enforcement operates under different constitutional rules than other forms of law enforcement, the scope of immunity afforded to immigration officers, the implications for Fourth and Fifth Amendment protections, and how recent enforcement practices and limits on judicial review challenge the long-standing characterization of immigration law as “civil.”
William & Mary's 2nd Annual John Marshall Day
Please join William & Mary's Legal History Society and American Constitution Society student chapter to celebrate the 225th anniversary of John Marshall being sworn in as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court! As early as 1901, the ABA recognized February 4th as "John Marshall Day" and the students at William & Mary Law School continue to do so today. The Great Chief Justice is the namesake of William & Mary's Marshall-Wythe School of Law, as well as its most famous alum. In observance of this milestone anniversary, LHS and ACS will be hosting a fantastic panel of Marshall experts to discuss his legacy and his impact on the legal and governmental fields in the 21st Century.
Our panelists include Senior Justice William Mims (Supreme Court of Virginia), Professor Kevin C. Walsh (Catholic University Columbus Law School), and Historian Mark Greenough (Marshall Interpreter).
The event will be broadcast over zoom for anyone who cannot attend in person.
ACS - Siembra NC Immigration Justice Event
Members from the team at Siembra NC will be joining us to talk about immigration justice. They will discuss the current projects of Siembra, the current challenges that Siembra is facing, and how law students can get involved.
