Notre Dame Law School's ACS Chapter Wins National Programming Award
The Notre Dame Law School American Constitution Student (ACS) Chapter has been recognized by the national American Constitution Society with an ACS Programming Award.
Programming awards are given to the strongest chapters who have conducted at least 18 substantive and compelling events during the school year. The award will be announced at the ACS National Convention on June 6-8 in Atlanta.
"The ACS Programming Award recognizes the hard work that our student leaders put into bringing numerous speakers to campus. These speakers provided an array of perspectives on legal topics in today's headlines. The Programming Award also serves as a capstone to one of the Notre Dame ACS chapter's most successful years," said Jay Tidmarsh, the Judge James J. Clynes, Jr. Professor of Law and faculty co-advisor for the ND Law ACS chapter.
This past year the Law School ACS student chapter organized or co-sponsored several events including:
