American Constitutional Society

The American Constitutional Society (ACS) is a network of legal professionals, including lawyers, scholars, and students, who promote the interpretation and application of the U.S. Constitution in ways that advance justice, equality, and civil rights. Founded in 2001, it aims to ensure constitutional principles are understood and upheld in contemporary law through advocacy, education, and fostering diverse perspectives. The ACS often emphasizes constitutional protections for marginalized groups and supports an active role for courts in shaping a fair and inclusive society.
