The ACS San Diego Lawyer Chapter is currently accepting applications to serve on its Board. 

Made up of attorneys from across the San Diego area, the ACS San Diego Lawyer Chapter is committed to advancing ACS's mission of upholding democracy, defending the rule of law, and advocating for a more just and equitable constitutional system. Our work has spanned from helping identify potential candidates for judgeships (and supporting ACS's Path to the Bench Project), to conducting panels and programing on public policy issues, to hosting social events bringing ACS affiliated attorneys and law students together.

Now more than ever, ACS's work is critical to safeguarding the future of liberty and justice in the United States. If you are interested in joining this effort, we encourage you to apply to serve on our Board. Board members may contribute any amount of time they can offer to the Chapter's work, with the expectation that each Board member will contribute at least one program, event, or other project each calendar year.

If you're interested, apply here. Applications are due Thursday, October 16 at 12pm. 

The 2025 Executive Board Elections and Happy Hour will be Friday, October 17, 2025 at 5:30 p.m. at The Guild Hotel (500 W. Broadway, San Diego, CA 92101).
