American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
The American Civil Liberties Union chapter of Brooklyn Law School was started in the Fall of 2002. This organization is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the principles and values embodied in the Bill of Rights, the U.S. Constitution, and the New York State Constitution. The ACLU mission has been to defend the fundamental civil liberties, values of freedom of speech, equal protection and due process of the law. BLSACLU has initiated various projects and will continue to hold lectures, debates, community outreach (voter registration drives, etc), as well as other meaningful events. BLS ACLU Homepage
American Constitution Society
The American Constitution Society for Law and Order was organized as a student group in 1999 to counter what it believed to be the conservative and dominant vision of contemporary American law. It has grown to over 50 active chapters nationwide with another 50 in formation. The Society’s mission is to restore to its central place in American law the principles of respect for human dignity, protection of individual rights and liberties, equality, and access to justice. The Brooklyn Law School chapter, under the advisement of Professor Will Hellerstein, seeks to advance intellectual engagement and legal debate at the law school by sponsoring events, debates, and noteworthy speakers.
