Washington, DC — The American Constitution Society (ACS) is pleased to announce the selection of 22 up-and-coming legal professionals for the 2022 Next Generation Leaders (NGL) program.

Launched in 2007, the Next Generation Leaders (NGL) program distinguishes law school students who have demonstrated memorable and significant leadership in their work with ACS’s student chapters. Through special programs and opportunities, the NGL program supports and empowers these progressive leaders across the country.

“I’m thrilled to welcome this talented and diverse group of Next General Leaders,” said ACS President Russ Feingold. “We are confronting a moment of truth for our democracy, and we need young leaders who are committed to protecting the guardrails of our democracy and ensuring our laws and legal systems protect the lives of all people. Our Next Generation Leaders are at the forefront of progressive legal change. I look forward to working alongside these accomplished leaders as we continue advancing ACS’ mission.”

NGL applicants undergo a competitive application process. Each year, 20-30 students are selected as NGLs, and one NGL is selected to serve a 2-year term as a student member of ACS’s Board.

There are now over 400 NGLs in the ACS network. NGLs form an integral part of the ACS network, with many contributing to the strength of the network as lawyer chapter leaders, mentors, and thought leaders through media and legal analysis. These leaders are also contributing to positive progressive change in their communities and around the country as thought leaders, lawyers, policymakers, academics, and elected officials.
