Constitutional Law

Student Chapter of the Week: Duke Law School

ACS's Duke Student Chapter is our newest Student Chapter of the Week. This academic year, it hosted a Brown Bag Lunch Series that covered the recent U.S. Attorney firings, school integration from both the parental and policy standpoints, immigration reform, presidential elections and the Constitution, the constitutionality of military commissions and the impact of electing judges and prosecutors. 

Speakers at events have included Erwin Chemerinsky, Neil Seigel, Colon Willogby, Anurima Bhargava, Judge Boyce Martin of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, and Judge Marcia Morey of the Durham County District Court.  Since the beginning of 2008, the chapter has had two new Brown Bag Lunch discussions covering a progressive vision of the Constitution and Medellin v. Texas. 

Next week, the chapter will be holding a public moot court round to prepare for ACS's 3rd Annual Constance Baker Motley National Moot Court Competition in Constitutional Law.  For more great ideas from other chapters, click here for a list of all ACS events.
