Welcome to the Progressive Law Society

University President Christopher L. Eisgruber ’83 addresses the Progressive Law Society on the topic of “Free Speech as a Progressive Ideal” in April 2023.

The mission of the Princeton Progressive Law Society is to present progressive juridical approaches and constitutional interpretations to the Princeton community. To this end, our team sponsors lectures, roundtable discussions, debates, dinners, conference trips, and much more. While our focus is distinctly legal, we draw on experts of many disciplines to inform our understanding of American law and institutions.

The Progressive Law Society is an undergraduate chapter of the American Constitution Society (ACS), America’s leading progressive legal advocacy organization. Princeton joins an expansive network of law school and lawyer chapters who share in our mission to ensure that the fundamental principles of human dignity, individual rights and liberties, genuine equality, and access to justice are in their rightful, central place in American law.

The Progressive Law Society invites all Princeton undergraduates, graduates, faculty, staff, and community members to enjoy our public lectures and programming.

Zinelle October, Executive Vice President of the American Constitution Society, speaks to Progressive Law Society members about her work with the Biden Administration to fill the federal bench with progressive judges.
