Hastings Organizations
American Constitutional Society - Hastings Chapter (ACS) seeks to revitalize and transform the legal debate from our classrooms to our courtrooms. We seek to counter the dominant vision of American law today, a narrow conservative vision that lacks appropriate regard for the ways in which the law affects people's lives. We seek to restore the fundamental principles of human dignity, individual rights and liberties, genuine equality, and access to justice to their rightful - and traditionally central - place in American law.
