If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
make it more widely available -- it's awfully DC-centric.
As a retired lawyer who likes to keep up with important advances in the law and legal controversies, I find the ACS journal and website to be valuable resources. They spot and cover issues largely ignored by mass media, and are leaders in the effort to preserve our living constitution.

They've done a great job making sure that the true meaning, and the way to interpret the constitution, is known. Their student organizations help to frame the debates on campus, and their social events for attorneys engage the whole community

Create more cross-campus communication, and create more connections between professionals; and between professionals and students
I'm a first-year law student, and I've found ACS to be enormously helpful and informative. I've learned a lot from the different speakers brought in to talk about very relevant, current issues in today's legal sphere, and it's been great to meet other progressive students.

I am second year law student and co-president of my law school's chapter of ACS and I can't even begin to describe how much support - both financially and programitcally - I receive from the ACS national office. Besides the obvious plus of helping to fund our on campus events ACS' staff is always there to help students find speakers for their programs and connect students with lawyers in their area.
Having such a strong commitment to bringing as many law students as possible to the annual convention in DC is just one testament to ACS commitment to mentoring the next generation of lawyers.

I am in my first year of law school and I find the ACS panels both informative and entertaining. My school's various student organizations host a wide variety of speakers and panels but those hosted by the ACS stand out consistently.

Increase funding to allow for a greater range of speakers and events on campus.
I'm a third-year law student, and I'm very grateful for the American Constitution Society's efforts in law schools. Through the high-quality speakers ACS has brought to my campus, and through the opportunities that ACS has provided for me to attend national conferences, I've greatly expanded my knowledge of the Constitution and the important legal issues our country currently faces. ACS has greatly enriched my education.

My understanding of the Constitution and it's application to modern issues has been greatly enhanced by ACS. I've also had the opportunity to meet and discuss issues with some of the brightest legal minds on our country because of ACS' campus programs.

I have been active in ACS since law school and attended several national conventions. Its programming and resources are unmatched, and its community is vibrant. It provides a great way for law students, lawyers, judges, and others to strengthen and advance constitutional and moral values that are under attack in the political arena and the media.
