ACS's First National Convention last year was a tremendous success, as hundreds of ACS members and others who care passionately about legal and public policy issues came together to learn, debate, and strategize. Attendees reported that they learned much, were greatly inspired, and had a wonderful time.
2004 is the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education and the 40th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This year's ACS Convention will honor these landmark developments in American law, and explore today's challenges in the pursuit of liberty and equality, with speakers including dozens of leading lawyers, judges, policymakers and academics.
