Student Chapter Resources

• To familiarize students with our mission, have a chapter leader recite the following description about ACS before introducing the speaker(s) at each event.
  

  “For those not familiar with ACS, we are a national network of lawyers, law students, scholars, judges and policymakers who believe that the law should be a force to improve the lives of all people. ACS works for positive change by shaping debate on vitally important legal and constitutional issues through the development and promotion of high-impact ideas. If you support these efforts and are not a formal part of our network, I encourage you to become a national member of ACS today.”

• Bring a laptop to each event so that members can sign up for national membership on-site.
• Encourage students to become national ACS members by directing them to: acslaw.org/join.
• Encourage students to sign-in using the ACS Sign in Sheet during social and networking events.
• Screen the “We Are ACS” video and discuss the benefits of national membership at informational and introductory meetings. Benefits include:
  • Access to ACS’s online job bank.
  • ACS’s weekly e-mail bulletin, which summarizes law and policy news from around the country, as well as upcoming ACS events.
  • The chance to connect and build relationships with lawyers, judges, law professors, and law students with expertise in virtually every area of the law.
  • Electronic versions of the Harvard Law & Policy Review, the official journal of ACS, and Advance, the official journal of the ACS Issue Groups.
  • Eligibility to apply for student scholarships to attend ACS conventions.
• Access our flyer to reach out to pre-law undergrads.
