ACS Presents the Constitution in the Classroom Program


A student working toward his juris doctor at the Florida A&M University College of Law, Danny Musaab Kiswani earned his bachelor's degree in business administration and management from the University of Central Florida. Extremely interested in political and constitutional issues, Danny Kiswani belongs to professional organizations such as the American Constitution Society (ACS).

Established by the progressive movement following the Bush v. Gore decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, the ACS believes that the law should positively impact people's lives. The society has more than 200 chapters across the nation and provides a diverse range of public programs, including the Constitution in the Classroom program.

Designed to educate students about essential principles of our nation's founding document, Constitution in the Classroom takes place twice a year in the spring and fall to honor Law Day and Constitution Day, respectively. Although the society focuses the program on these two dates, volunteers can also go to schools to talk about the Constitution anytime throughout the year.

Both law students and lawyers can volunteer for the program. ACS will supply them with lesson plans to teach for approximately an hour about some portion of the Constitution to elementary, middle school, or high school students.
