The Abundance Law Society is a bipartisan student organization dedicated to studying and advancing legal reforms that make it easier to build housing, energy, infrastructure, transportation, and public services. The Society brings together students, faculty, practitioners, and policymakers to examine how law can reduce unnecessary barriers to development while preserving legitimate safeguards for health, safety, property rights, and democratic accountability.
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.
