AUWCL's American Constitution Society Receives ACS Award
May 13, 2019
Congratulations to American University Washington College of Law’s chapter of the American Constitution Society, which has been named a recipient of the American Constitutional Society (ACS) national Programing Award.
AUWCL's ACS focuses on the importance of law as the mechanism which governs the relationships between and among individuals and institutions that form our society, and seeks to restore the fundamental principles of respect for human dignity, protection of individual rights and liberties, genuine equality, and access to justice to their rightful - and traditionally central - place in American law.
The Program Awards are given to the nation’s strongest ACS chapters that have conducted at least 20 substantive and compelling events during the school year.
“Indeed, (the AUWCL) chapter has helped to shape the debate on several issues, including environmental justice, voting rights, income inequality, religious liberty and LGBT equality, immigration, free speech and the right to organize and protest, labor and employment, and a Constitution Day celebration,” ACS said in a statement.
The recognition will be announced at ACS’s 2019 National Convention.
