Lawyer Chapters

ACS lawyer chapters bring together an expanding grassroots network of lawyers and other professionals spanning from coast to coast. Lawyer chapters offer a local forum to share ideas and debate issues integral to a progressive legal and policy perspective; to develop important professional contacts; and to work together on substantive projects. They also connect members with national ACS initiatives, providing them with opportunities to help shape the national debate.
