Lawyer Chapters

ACS lawyer chapters bring together an expanding grassroots network of lawyers and other professionals spanning from coast to coast. Lawyer chapters offer a local forum to share ideas and debate issues integral to a progressive legal and policy perspective; to develop important professional contacts; and to work together on substantive projects. They also connect members with national ACS initiatives, providing them with opportunities to help shape the national debate.

On October 28, the Chicago Lawyer Chapter presented a panel discussion on "Election Law Hot Topics: What to Expect as Americans Head to the Polls". Panelists were Benjamin Blustein, former voting rights attorney for the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights; Michael J. Kasper, Adjunct Professor of Election Law at John Marshall and Loyola University Law Schools; and Mark D. Rosen, Professor of Law at Chicago-Kent Law School. The discussion of vote fraud and registration issues, the 2003 Help Americans Vote Act, Ohio voter identification litigation via the Crawford case, and the potential for Election Day problems made for a lively and engrossing session. The program was co-sponsored by the ACS Voting Issues Group and the John Marshall Law School faculty.
