American Constitution Society (ACS)

The American Constitution Society of the University of Colorado Law School is a group of students concerned about the fundamental Constitutional rights within American law and politics. We believe deeply in the importance of law as the mechanism which governs the relationships between and among the individuals and institutions that form our society, and we recognize the direct relationship between legal theory and the broader political debate about the kind of society in which we live.

The mission of ACS is to harness the values of compassion and respect for each individual and to re-incorporate them into American law and politics, in order to build a stronger and more decent national community.

ACS has a nationwide network of progressive lawyers, law students, judges, scholars, advocates, and many others. ACS offers platforms for debate and discussion about both enduring principles and the issues of the day, as well as opportunities for networking, mentoring, and organizing around matters of both local and national significance. On campus, we at ACS sponsor speakers, debates, and panels alongside other organizations to further our knowledge of issues pertaining to our constitutional rights.

Interested students can join our Canvas page or reach out to John Miller, Peter Klopfenstein, or John Henry Verhoff for more information.
