The mission of Harvard Law School\u2019s American Constitution Society (ACS) chapter is to promote progressive legal change\u2014from the classroom to the courts\u2014in order to realize economic and social justice and secure democratic freedoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Harvard Law School Chapter of ACS is one of the largest and most active student organizations at the law school. Our chapter frequently hosts events and speakers featuring leading progressive scholars and practitioners. In recent years, we\u2019ve hosted speakers including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter, California Supreme Court Justice Goodwin Liu, ACLU Women\u2019s Rights Project Director Lenora Lapidus, and Canadian Supreme Court Justice Rosalie Silberman Abella. We also work to cultivate community spaces and resources for our members at the Law School in order to support their academic and professional pursuits. Finally, our chapter is committed to partnering with a variety of student organizations and movements across the Law School and University that share our commitment to progressive ideals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The HLS chapter of ACS is closely affiliated with the Harvard Law and Policy Review (HLPR), ACS\u2019s official journal. HLPR is a forum for substantive debate between progressive legal scholars and practitioners, designed to promote scholarship with a practical application to societal changes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
