The American Constitution Society for Law and Policy (ACS) is a diverse nationwide network of progressive lawyers, law students, judges, scholars, advocates, and many others, whose mission is to support and advocate for laws and legal systems that strengthen our democratic legitimacy, uphold the rule of law, and redress the founding failures of our Constitution and enduring inequities in our laws in pursuit of realized equality. Our vision is of a multi-racial, representative democracy that includes: I. A judiciary that reflects the diversity of the public it serves, interprets the U.S. Constitution through the backdrop of history and through the lens of lived experience, and protects democratic guardrails, upholds the rule of law, and vindicates fundamental rights; II. Democratic institutions that uphold the rule of law, guard against the abuse of power, and promote laws and policies that advance realized equality; and III. A robust and diverse legal civil society that actively promotes progressive legal transformation and redress of the founding failures of our Constitution and of our laws and legal systems.   Please submit any suggestions you have for ACS events here.
