American Constitution Society

I really enjoy being a part of ACS. Being involved with this great organization helped me to see ways in which I could affect change within the community. I appreciate their passion for helping others and all of the ways in which they provide avenues to do so. Law school would not have been the same without ACS.

Joining ACS in law school has allowed me to be part of a network of like-minded individuals. Being on the board of a student chapter, I have been able to be active with students at my law school, the lawyer's chapter, and national network. I have attended various panels and discussions, which have sparked many meaningful conversations.

ACS is an incredible organization. I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of being involved in all the activities that the organization has to offer. All volunteers and staff are incredibly kind and fun, and being part of the group has certainly made going to law school easier. Simply a stellar, first class progressive organization.

A high quality progressive legal organization. Good leadership and organization.

Joining ACS in law school was one of the best decisions I have ever made. ACS has provided me an outlet to engage with other students and professionals in our industry and strive to. do good things. Additionally, ACS has guaranteed that when I leave law school, I will have a network of individuals who I can reach out to if needed. I will forever be thankful for ACS, the work they do, and the staff who make everything they do possible.

ACS helped me find a way to really make an impact on my local and legal community in law school. They provided resources and support to help me tailor my passion for positive social change. As a newly licensed attorney they have helped me connect with like minded professionals who desire to change their community for the better. I just love my ACSers and am proud to be a part of an organization that seeks positive change, regardless of your party.

One of the constants in my law school career has been the march of incredible opportunities made available to me through my membership in ACS. No other organization I know of makes so much effort to educate and shape young progressive lawyers who care about the future of our country. ACS has a bold, positive, attainable vision for the future of our democracy and I look forward to continuing to be a part of it.

The American Constitution Society's work is vital to our constitutional democracy. As a faculty advisor to a law school chapter, I can attest that no other national legal organization does more to promote the constitutional promise of liberty and equality than ACS through its high quality programming, incredibly supportive community, and invaluable networking opportunities with other progressive law students, lawyers, judges, and political leaders across the country.

From the time I started law school, ACS has played an important role in my outside-of-class education there. They've introduced me to a valuable network of professionals who have provided me with guidance and networking opportunities, as well as practical advice to help me succeed in law school and in my career.

This has been an incredible organization to work with! I am a student leader and the resources and opportunities that ACS has provided me are fantastic.

I am a volunteer board member serving on the Chicago Lawyer Chapter's BOD. ACS has been an important source of information and inspiration to me. As a lawyer, it is invaluable to have a network of like-minded colleagues with which to share information. Last year, we were able to host around 20 sponsored and co-sponsored events. The truth matters, and ACS has been a critical force in getting quality information out to its network, providing a space for discussion and innovation in our field.

ACS provides thought leadership and an invaluable network for progressive lawyers and law students. The breadth of issues on which they work and the way they engage lawyers and law students through their local chapters helps to promote a progressive vision of the Constitution that is desperately needed today.

ACS has been instrumental in me connecting with like minded students, attorneys, and judges in my community.

ACS is the most amazing organization I have ever been a part of. The people involved with ACS, both as employees and as members, are incredible human beings and do such amazing work! I feel honored to be a part of the work ACS does day in and day out.

As a first-generation college and law student, ACS helped me navigate the complex process of clerkship applications by explaining the process and connecting me to former or current clerks of specific judges to which I wanted to apply. My ACS faculty adviser wrote one of my recommendation letters, and Zack Gima (ACS staff) helped me prepare for my interview with my judge. ACS was absolutely vital to my clerkship search.

As a law student, my job, first and foremost, is to learn the workings of the law and prepare for a career practicing in the legal profession. When I arrived at school, my goal was simple: focus on my studies, develop good relationships with my professors, and prepare for the many many years after school, not just the three I would spend in it.

Along came ACS - both the national organization and my school chapter - and with it the realization that my professional skills and preparedness to be a responsible attorney would be bolstered greatly by engaging with this organization. Over time my involvement has deepened and the rewards have multiplied. The support and guidance I receive from ACS in every aspect of my legal studies and practice has been invaluable, and as a network nationwide their work is absolutely indispensable for ensuring that my generation of lawyers (as well as those who came before, and will follow after) is well-trained, well-educated, and meaningfully oriented toward responsible practice and being a contributing member of my professional and social communities.

The broad and dedicated ACS network has been a value-multiplier par excellence, and I am so thrilled that some of my work can contribute to others' lives and careers as well. I am excited for a future in this organization, and its reputation and status as a nonprofit reassures me that we'll be able to maintain a high level of earnest enthusiasm and dedication to a pure mission for years to come.

ACS helped me find my voice during law school and has continued to help me use that voice as a practicing attorney.

One of the things I like best about ACS is how they provide information on crucial developments in civil rights. One of my favorite topics is voting rights, and learning about voter suppression tactics that hinder the progress that has been made. We must stay vigilant.

I enjoy learning about Supreme Court cases and developments in a fun and informative manner and venue. The fellowship is uplifting.

Perhaps what I find most important, is that I like the way ACS facilitates Constitution in the Classroom (CITC). This program helps ACS members and staff get the word out to DC public school students about the importance of the US Constitution. The instructors tackle and discuss issues relevant to the youth. Further, when students meet a variety of visitors who they might not regularly engage with, CITC demonstrates that there are many kinds of people in, and aspects of, the legal profession. And the instructors can benefit from the interaction with bright young people who they don't often encounter. For me, it's simply a great community service event all around. Ming Lowe

ACS is one of the best nonprofits with which I have ever had the privilege of engaging. ACS's staff is knowledgeable, dedicated, and passionate. When I think of progressive leadership in the US, ACS is at the forefront. ACS inspires law students and attorneys to take action and produces important, groundbreaking reports on various hot topics in law. ACS believes that law should be a force for change to improve the lives of all people and acts on that belief by organizing and engaging attorneys, law professors, judges, and law students on progressive issues. ACS's work is vital to democracy.

The American Constitution Society has empowered me to plan events at my law school around topics of national importance. On a personal note, ACS has also helped me feel at home at my school. I am truly grateful for everything they do to advance a vision of the law that helps all people.

ACS's work on judicial nominations is one of the most important programs I've supported. Proud to be an ACS supporter.

ACS was so helpful when I was starting law school; it instantly connected me with like-minded law students. ACS continues to help its members by offering personalized career advice, publicizing important notice and comment opportunities, and hosting informative and entertaining events on a variety of topics. ACS and its staff perform a great service for law students and lawyers alike and truly deserves recognition for all that it has accomplished.

ACS helped register out of state voters at our graduate school

I've watched ACS in action for many years and am impressed by its superb management, talented staff, motivated volunteers and members who include stars in the field, and ACS's ability to adopt new strategies and tactics in changing times. It is now without doubt the premier advocacy organization of American progressive jurists.

Relevant and rich programming on legal topics with excellent reach to students and diverse members and communities.

At a time in the US when a number of cherished rights as well as our democracy and the rule of law are gravely threatened, the American Constitution Society (ACS) is helping to shape the debate on important legal and constitutional issues, build networks of lawyers, law students, judges and policymakers who want the law to improve the lives of Americans, and defend enduring constitutional values. I have attended a number of truly excellent discussions by leading lawyers and law professors on topics such as the legal status of corporations, the recently-ended Supreme Court term, theories of executive power under the Constitution (including a discussion of how different legal theories relate to special counsel Robert Mueller), and the recent nomination to the Supreme Court. ACS is playing a vital rule during these momentous times.

The American Constitution Society has been uniquely effective in bringing together the country's best legal minds, including lawyers, judges, academics, public officials, and law students, to develop a progressive vision of our Constitution and laws. It has been profoundly influential in helping to shape public debate over critical Constitutional and legal issues. As a law professor, I have benefitted directly from its programs and publications, as well as the networking opportunities ACS creates for professional and intellectual exchange.

ACS does a great job connecting like-minded law students and lawyers and making substantive contributions to current constitutional debates.

ACS has helped connect like minded lawyers so we can collectively advocate for positive change, further develop legal theories based on the changing landscape, and assist one another in advancing or careers. It has been a pleasure and an honor working with them for over 10 years.

ACS plays a vital role in convening, educating, inspiring, and networking law students, lawyers, judges, academics, policymakers and others who believe that law should be a positive force for everyone in the United States. As a law student I am involved with ACS in my earliest years, and it helped supplement the legal education I received in classrooms with a greater focus on real-world issues and current debates. I am confident that ACS has made me better aware of the challenges facing our democracy.

ACS does an amazing job informing the broader public about important legal issues, helping to ensure an informed and motivated citizenry.

Plays an invaluable role in shaping the legal dialogue on constitutional issues from a progressive perspective.

Very useful connector for lawyers both at the national and state level: educational programs, mentoring with law students, advocacy opportunities and more!

There's no better organization for the times we are currently in.

I have been a member of this organization for 3+ years and have seen the growth and impact they are having on the legal profession. This vital organization will help unite lawyers across the country to make positive, progressive impacts on a local, state, and national level.
