Becoming involved with The American Constitution Society at The University of Texas School of Law is easy. The Chapter events are open to all students, staff, faculty, and the public, but the full privileges of membership—including the right to vote, hold an Executive Board position, and attend certain members-only events are reserved for students who are nationally registered members of ACS.
If you would like to become a nationally registered member of ACS to enjoy full chapter benefits, you may do so by credit card on the national ACS website. If you join through the national website, please make certain to provide full information, including your law school and class. Please keep a copy of the receipt and/or confirmation number and contact our finances chair (mws@alumni.rice.edu) to notify us of your membership payment.
