The ACS Constitution in the Classroom Program


An accomplished student and active member of the community, Danny Musaab Kiswani plans to complete his law degree at Florida A&M University in 2019. In addition to his law classes, Danny Kiswani holds membership in legal organizations such as the American Constitution Society (ACS).

Founded to shape debate and opinions about the U.S. Constitution and other legal matters, ACS brings together students, attorneys, legal scholars, and policy makers in a progressive network dedicated to improving the lives of all Americans. ACS serves its members, the legal field, and society through a combination of networking events, policy advocacy, education, and special projects such as its Constitution in the Classroom initiative.

A biannual event, Constitution in the Classroom sends attorneys, law students, and Constitutional law scholars into grade school and high school classrooms to share their knowledge about the U.S. Constitution and get students excited about their rights and responsibilities as Americans. The program officially takes place each year in the fall on or around Constitution Day (September 17) and in the spring on or around Law Day (May 1). However, ACS welcomes volunteers from the legal field to visit classrooms throughout the year as their schedules allow.
