The American Constitution Society (ACS) believes that law should be a force to improve the lives of all people. ACS works for positive change by shaping debate on vitally important legal and constitutional issues through development and promotion of high-impact ideas to opinion leaders and the media; by building networks of lawyers, law students, judges and policymakers dedicated to those ideas; and by countering the activist conservative legal movement that has sought to erode our enduring constitutional values. By bringing together powerful, relevant ideas and passionate, talented people, ACS makes a difference in the constitutional, legal and public policy debates that shape our democracy.

The Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project is a local branch of a national program mobilizing talented law students to support their communities by hosting constitutional law programs at local Title I high schools. Law Student “Fellows” will hone legal analysis and reasoning skills and connect with the community, while the High School students they support gain confidence, civic awareness and public speaking skills.

In the Fall and Spring semesters, Fellows hold weekly Moot Court Club meetings teaching constitutional law and appellate advocacy. They aim to prepare the club’s members to speak and reason well at the semester’s Regional Competition hosted on the law school’s campus. We have worked primarily with schools in the Phoenix Union School District, such as Cesar Chavez High School, Maryvale High School and South Mountain High School, though we are happy to connect with any school in the valley either in-person or remotely.

As a grassroots organization, NLG will take whatever shape WE decide it should take. Everyone who joins will have a voice in how the group operates and what issues and activities it supports.

In 1989, students and attorneys who were concerned about the lack of legal services accessible to the homeless established the Arizona State University College of Law Unhoused Legal Assistance Project (ULAP). The project started with one homeless facility in the community, and it gradually expanded to meet the Valley's growing needs. Today, our volunteers visit five facilities in the Phoenix area: CASS, UMOM, La Mesita, Victory Place, and EVMC.

The Unhoused Legal Assistance Project is a student-run organization. Law students and attorneys come together to help homeless individuals throughout the valley, access the legal assistance that they need. Students receive pro bono hours for their participation and gain unique experience by interacting with clients on a one-on-one basis, applying their academic knowledge to real-life situations, and learning first-hand about the local homelessness crisis. Attorney volunteers come from all sectors of the profession and bring with them a broad range of experience.
