Political & Advocacy
The American Constitution Society (ACS) is a national organization that shapes debate on important legal and constitutional issues through development and promotion of high-impact ideas to opinion leaders and the media; by building networks of lawyers, law students, judges and policymakers dedicated to those ideas; and by countering the activist conservative legal movement that has sought to erode our enduring constitutional values.The American Constitution Society at the University of Michigan seeks to influence debate on the law by advancing a progressive interpretation of the Constitution through forums, speakers and debate. By reintroducing the values of compassion, justice and respect for human dignity into the debate about the role of law in the America, the ACS hopes to build a stronger and more decent national community and bring the United States closer to its founding principles.At the American Constitution Society at the University of Michigan, we organize discussions featuring prominent legal experts and professionals. We also host special events ranging from our Supreme Court Roundup to our periodic small-group Professor Lunches. We are one of the nation's most active ACS chapters. Our chapter was awarded the ACS National Chapter of the Year Award in 2009, 2020, and 2024. We were awarded the National Chapter of the Week in 2015, 2016, and 2024. Our Chapter was also awarded the "Programming Award" in 2014, 2017, 2022, 2023, and 2024.
