ACS at the University of Michigan turned practical...at least for a while. Then, it was back to discussions over weighty issues. (Is there anything more weighty than discussing God?)

Nov. 7 - Working Lunch Series: Judicial Internships

ACS proudly kicked off its "Working Lunch" Series with a discussion on judicial internships! Nearly 100 people, mostly 1L's, came to enjoy sandwiches and the talk. First, we heard Robin Kaplan from the Office of Career Services give an overview of what her office can offer. (Relevant web links are posted on the University ACS site.) The audience then learned how to apply for internships, picking up an information sheet on how to do this. They also heard personal accounts of what it is like to work at the Michigan Court of Appeals, the Michigan Supreme Court, and a Federal District Court.

Nov. 14 - Working Lunch Series: Roles Within the US Government

ACS proudly finished up its "Working Lunch" series! Julia Franklin spoke to an audience of about 40 people, discussing her experiences working with the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee and the U.S. Attorney's Office. She discussed the benefits of working in these roles and gave tips on how 1L's can improve their applications when applying for these roles.

Nov. 29 - What's God got to do with it?

ACS co-sponsored an informal discussion on public religious expression, inspired by the recent "What's God Got To Do With It?" lunch talk (Nov. 18). About 30 members from different groups discussed the First Amendment over snacks and drinks. Professor Don Herzog moderated and ventured his own views.
