ACS Research Link
If you are a law student, public interest lawyer or law professor, ACS would like to remind you of an important tool at your disposal: ACS ResearchLink. Launched in 2007, the goal of the project is twofold:
(1) give practitioners across the country an opportunity to submit legal research topics for further investigation, and
(2) give law students an opportunity to explore these topics through faculty-supervised writing projects for academic credit, and submit the subsequent papers for potential publication.
By connecting law students and faculty with the research needs of organizations and advocates, ACS ResearchLink has become an increasingly comprehensive and powerful engine for change. It has expanded the resources of public interest practitioners, while enhancing the relevance and influence of student scholarship. Furthermore, it has provided numerous opportunities for students to explore the issues that ACS members care most about. Below, you will find specific information on how you can get involved!
You can get more information on the ACS ResearchLink website, including answers to frequently asked questions. If you have additional questions or thoughts you would like to share, please contact ACS Associate Director for Outreach, Virginia Adams Marentette.
