ACS represents the very best in what a public-policy nonprofit should be. ACS staff are absolutely dedicated to their mission to promoting a progressive view of the Constitution and are careful with their money as they do so.
I've been involved with ACS in one way or another since I was in law school. I greatly admire what they aim to do, and what they manage to do on a relatively tight budget.

ACS is a great organization that I joined after entering law school last year. I am currently the event coordinator at my school and am so proud of all the events that we have had because they were both informative and inclusive of all viewpoints on issues like immigration and healthcare. The national organization also offers great advice and support to the student organizations and advise us on the hot topics of the year so we can plan events that showcase the issues that currently affect our nation and the living constitution of the United States. This is a great organization and I am happy to be a part of it and will continue to participate once I am a lawyer.

This is a wonderful organization for getting law students aware of the many ways they can use their educations to achieve meaningful progressive ends and help those who most need legal services and policy changes.

ACS is a fantastic organization for organizing, motivating, and connecting progressives across the country. ACS does an incredible job of both playing an important role at the highest levels of law and policy while also nurturing the next generation of diverse leaders from all kinds of law schools across the country. ACS has already played an extraordinary role in my law school experience, and I can't wait to continue participating for many years to come.

I am glad ACS is out there to provide a balanced alternative to the extreme conservative views that sometimes threaten to overwhelm important legal and public policy debates. ACS' informative articles and publications keep me up to date on vital constitutional issues as well as those related to my legal practice area. I also have been impressed with the equally wide range of educational and development programming ACS offers. I highly recommend them as a resource for other progressive attorneys or anyone who cares about the Constitution and the continued existence of a federal court system that makes decisions based on reason rather than ideology.

ACS is an inclusive and civic-minded organization that allows local groups to engage in high-minded civil debate. It creates a forum to discuss issues of the day. Although its stated mission--toward a progressive vision of the Constitution--is liberal, I have found that ACS engages with our brothers on the other side frequently and with great success. This is a private organization that manages to draw attention to differences of policy and opinion without becoming strident or intolerant. I am very proud to count myself a member of ACS. It is truly a great nonprofit organization.

The educational programming put on by ACS is second to none. I have learned a lot about law and legal policy at their sessions, and am amazed at how quickly this organization has grown over the past few years. It's definitely worth becoming a member and getting involved.

ACS is an incredible organization that is here to further the careers of progressive attorneys and law students. There is no question that the people involved with ACS are some of the most passionate, thoughtful people working in the field of law today. The networking opportunities are marvelous, as are the events ACS regularly hosts. I am constantly wowed by the amount of effort ACS's staff and members put into the organization, and the rate at which it has grown is simply testament to that. Will undoubtedly continue to support this terrific organization!

As President for the University of St. Thomas School of Law Chapter, ACS helped me become more active in the community and provide informative forums on important topics and public policy. The staff is incredibly supportive and always available to assist in setting up events, recruiting speakers, or providing funding when we have a shortfall in our budgets.

I was the President of the University of Minnesota Law School chapter of ACS and it was great to be part of such a supportive organization. ACS encouraged us to hold events relevant and important in our society, from criminal justice issues like wrongful convictions to constitutional issues like the gay marriage ban initiatives. ACS was critical in providing us experts from across to country to educate students on breaking legal issues and providing a network to so that students could use the knowledge to help those in need.

Taking seriously the idea that an educated public is essential to a well-functioning democracy, the ACS provides educational and support networks to help disseminate an historically honest interpretation of the Constitution and its role as America's founding document. The ACS plays a key role in helping to get judges through the stultifying appointments process, and it provides a robust alternative to conservative jurisprudence by refusing to cede the issue of the founding fathers' intent.
